q3 i3 Duration holding the candy increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (interaction η² = 0.160). → Honoré N 2020

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Repeated-measures ANOVA on children who did not reach the 40-s ceiling at pre-test (30 experimental, 17 control); the group×time interaction was significant (F = 8.57, p = 0.005, η² = 0.160), the largest effect in the study.

"In the Tongue Task (Figure 2), the duration spent with the candy in the subject's open mouth increased more in the experimental group (38.37± 10.80) than in the control group (24.27 ± 19.62)."
