Therefore, marginally significant differences between groups might be due to a floor effect.

Interestingly, however, while the aforementioned study (Pagnoni and Cekic, 2007 ) exposed a marginally significant negative correlation in the control group ( r = −0.54) and a non-significant positive correlation in the meditation group ( r = 0.006), our study revealed significant negative correlations between age and gray matter both in controls ( r = −0.77) and in meditators ( r = −0.58).

The positive low group had the smallest CVE, an effect that was significant in the error data and just at the threshold of significance in the RT data.

However, a visual inspection suggested that there was at least a small trend of learning in the first five blocks.

The interaction of Arousal × Cue validity, F (1, 41) = 3.74, p = 0.059, η p 2 = 0 .084 , was on the threshold of significance.

(2005) showed a putative link between handedness and self-consciousness, where right-handed individuals tended to have lower levels of self-consciousness, although this was only approaching significance.

A marginally significant difference was revealed between 3- to 4- and 5- to 6-year-olds on the AP.

When old faces were seen with studied contexts the asymmetry was greater than when old faces were seen with new contexts, t (48) = −2.24, p = 0.03), but none of the other comparisons approached significance.

(2012) longitudinal investigation of CBCT in adults naïve to meditation found that, for individuals randomized to compassion meditation but not those randomized to attention meditation, meditation practice time predicted increased amygdala activation in response to compassion-inducing stimuli, though the effect was only marginally statistically significant.

All other hypothesized associations were only marginally significant.

However, a further contribution on a considerable number of left-handed ( N = 30) and right-handed ( N = 57) Italian participants reports a highly significant correlation between handedness and finger counting direction.

The three measures of pleasure were analyzed together in a multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA), which showed emotion condition to have a highly significant and large effect (see Table 4 ).

While detecting a modulation of congruity effects by task-irrelevant numerical distance is highly significant on its own (Tzelgov et al., 1992 ), actual speed and accuracy outcomes in the NSP may not be straightforward to explain because exact values depend on the relative saliency and speed of processing of task-relevant and task-irrelevant dimensions as well as on the ability to resolve stimulus and response conflict in the incongruent condition (Boucart and Humphreys, 1994 ; Schwarz and Ischebeck, 2003 ; Szücs and Soltész, 2007 ; Szücs et al., 2007 ; Szűcs et al., 2009 ).

It is perhaps surprising that the one correlation that was only marginally significant involved the two tests that are purely visuo-spatial in content (FIT and CSVI); however, the DFT correlated significantly with each of them and thus lay sufficiently solid foundations for measurement of M-capacity as a construct.

(2013) , to date no associations have been replicated across studies, and in several studies only marginally significant results or no significant associations have been found, even in the presence of large samples ( Armour et al., 2014 ).

We found a highly significant association between conditions (standard condition vs. triggering condition) and Response Dominance Type (Category-, Shape-, Thematic/Non-Dominant), χ 2 (2) = 14.83, p < 0.01.

To the contrary, the results even showed a trend in the opposite direction, i.e., decreasing duration perception with growing aversion.

The fact that the p -value for this analysis is approaching significance contrasts with the results of the ANCOVA results reported above, which suggests that the infants in this study may have some, but not a robust, expectation that word-referent links are to be used consistently across two speakers who have been shown to use the same language.

s time window (0.55), [mean difference = 0.039, 95% CI: 0.085–0.05, d = 0.21; t 1 (1, 26) = 1.81, p = 0.081; t 2 (1, 34) = 1.69, p = 0.1]; and the 600- to 699-ms time window (0.55), [mean difference = 0.045, 95% CI: 0.096–0.07, d = 0.23; t 1 (1, 26) = 1.79, p = 0.085; t 2 (1, 34) = 1.78, p = 0.084] approached significance.

Note that effects of non-onset phonological overlap are very small and only marginally statistically significant (or not at all) even when all phonemes of a word are identical except the initial one (as in beaker vs. speaker, Allopenna et al., 1998 ; McQueen and Viebahn, 2007 ; McQueen and Huettig, in press , for discussion).

Indeed there was a small trend in the opposite direction.

The BSI test results showed that the participants' pathological symptomatology scores decreased from baseline ( M = 1.585; SD = 0.744) to the last period (M = 1.078; SD = 0.350); [ t (6) = 1.921; p = 0.052; g = 0.631), marginally non-significant statistically.

All dependent variables were highly significant at 1% statistical significance, so fixed effects were used.

Discussion The results showed that the OP related and O related distractors reliably facilitated written production at -100, 0, and +100 ms SOAs, and these findings replicated the results of Experiment 1, while the P related distractors produced a marginally significant facilitation effect at 0 ms SOA.
