Subclaims¶

q3 i3 The ADHD group showed slower reaction times than the non-ADHD group in all conditions. → Ortega 2020 q3 i3 The Color-Shape binding condition produced slower reaction times than the Shape-Only condition in both groups. → Ortega 2020 (2)

Evidence¶

Ortega 2020¶

q3 · i3 · associational · r2

Repeated-measures ANOVA of reaction times in the same 18-vs-18 adolescent sample: "the ADHD group showed slower responses than the non-ADHD group in all conditions", F(1,34) = 13.035, p = 0.00097, η2 = 0.28.

"Regarding reaction times (RTs), the ADHD group showed slower responses than the non-ADHD group in all conditions (F(1,34) = 13.035, p = 0.00097, η2 = 0.28)."

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Same RT ANOVA: a main effect of condition, with "The Color-shape condition showed slower RTs than the Only-Shape condition", F(1,34) = 6.2918, p = 0.01706, η2 = 0.16; no Group x Condition interaction was reported.

"The Color-shape condition showed slower RTs than the Only-Shape condition (F(1,34) = 6.2918, p = 0.01706, η2 = 0.16). No other effects were observed."
