q3 i? The control group's score on the focused communication task fell from 68.89% at pretest to 37.04% at immediate posttest, a statistically significant decrease (F = 13.70, p = .001). → Broszkiewicz 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Group-level analysis of the paired focused communication task scores in the quasi-experiment. The article reports the control group's significant drop (F = 13.70, p = .001) and states the potential contribution of the fatigue effect must be taken into account; the group recovered only partially to 53.45% at delayed posttest.

"One reason for such a poor score may be that the students had noticed that they were tested on something they had not been instructed in, but what seems more likely is that they became tired and bored with the tests and recordings"
