One Factor ANCOVA on pre-/post-test scores of 86 volunteers split into control (traditional) and experimental (detailed analogies) groups of 43 each over two months. The article reports "F(1-83) = 34.14 (sig. = 0.00), p < 0.05" with post-test totals of 61.97% vs 84.18%.

"Moreover, there was a significant difference between the elaborate analogy used for computer hardware learning and the posttest, F(1-83) = 34.14 (sig. = 0.00), p < 0.05, as shown in Table 4. It was 61.97 % for the control group and 84.18 % for the experimental group."
