Subclaims¶

q3 i3 A repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of learning phase (η2 = 0.683) alongside a significant Group × Learning Phase interaction (η2 = 0.132). → Kawasoe 2026

Evidence¶

Kawasoe 2026¶

Kawasoe, R., Matsumura, K., Shinohara, T., Arima, K., Takeo, Y., Ikeda, T. & Sugata, H. (2026). Wakeful targeted memory reactivation during short rest periods modulates early motor learning. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-026-00407-9

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Repeated-measures ANOVA with learning phase (early, intermediate, late) as within-subject factor and Group as between-subject factor, in the TMRregular (16), TMRfast (16), and TMRrandom (15) groups after exclusions. The article prints "𝜂2 = 0.132" for the interaction; the main effect of learning phase reached η2 = 0.683 in the same ANOVA (Fig. 3B caption: "p < 0.001").

"Additionally, there was a significant Group × Learning Phase interaction (𝐹(4.88) = 3.36, p = 0.013, 𝜂2 = 0.132)"

Related Claims¶

• Auditory TMR cues replayed 1.3x faster than the preceding practice speed yield greater early-phase motor learning gains than same-speed cues — related
• Random-pitch auditory cues show no early learning modulation, underscoring that TMR effects require cue-task congruency — related
• Fast auditory TMR cues during rest strengthen alpha-band functional connectivity centered on the lateral orbitofrontal cortex relative to same-speed cues — related
