One-factor ANOVA on TTCT-Figurative Originality in the same 34-versus-34 comparison; the ADHD group's mean was "116.5 ± 13.11" versus 103.5 ± 13.96 for controls, F = 15.450, p = 0.000, partial η² = 0.190 (large by the article's stated threshold of 0.14).

"Originality 116.5 ± 13.11 103.5 ± 13.96 15.450 0.000* 0.190"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Attention — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
• Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it
