Subclaims¶

q3 i? A main effect of time showed children performed more accurately at T2 than T1, and a main effect of trial type showed better performance on congruent than incongruent trials. → McDermott 2017

q3 · i? · causal · r2

RM-ANOVA on behavioral accuracy in the RCT ERP subsample. Children also "performed better on the congruent (M = 62.86, SD = 14.59) than the incongruent trials (M = 58.01, SD = 13.12)", indicating the expected flanker effect.

"The RM-ANOVA to examine change in percent of correct trials indicated a main effect of time (see Table 2) such that children performed more accurately at T2 (M = 62.36, SD = 14.28) compared to T1 (M = 56.58, SD = 14.92)."
