q3 i? Children's responses were most accurate in congruent trials (M = 98.52%), less accurate in incongruent trials (M = 94.52%), and least accurate in mixed trials (M = 75.63%), ps ≤ 0.001. → Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017

Paired-sample t-tests on the 225 children's Dot Task accuracy showed a significant gradient across the three conditions; accuracies across conditions were also positively correlated (r = 0.16 to 0.31). Accuracy rather than reaction time was reported as the more sensitive measure for young children.

"Results of three paired sample t-tests revealed that children's responses on the Dot Task were most accurate in the congruent trials (M= 98.52%, SD= 3.89%, range 78ñ100%), followed by the incongruent trials ( M= 94.52%, SD= 7.81%, range 60ñ100%), and least accurate in the mixed trials (M= 75.63%, SD= 14.22%, range 40ñ100%), ps≤ 0.001."

Related Claims¶

• Flanker task produces congruency effects in reaction time and accuracy in twelve-year-old children — related
• Accuracy in the mixed block decreases across trials while PES also decreases, independent of intelligence — related
• Relational integration is less accurate and slower than single-relation matching regardless of audience or age — related
• Incongruent items in school-topic tasks are generally associated with longer response times and lower accuracy, patterns consistent with inhibitory control recruitment — a broader claim this one bears on
• Turkish and German identity interactively predicted accuracy on mixed Dot Task trials requiring cognitive flexibility among immigrant-origin children
• The identity interaction on mixed-trial accuracy held marginally when controlling for language abilities, which themselves did not predict performance
• Incongruent dot comparison trials are less accurate and slower than congruent trials, consistent with an added inhibition step — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Balanced bicultural identity showed no relation to working memory or inhibitory control performance in congruent and incongruent Dot Task trials — related
• Verbal working memory positively and inhibitory control negatively relate to accuracy in the contrasting multiple-choice task — related
• Both text incongruency and knowledge inaccuracy produce increased reading times on target sentences — related
