q3 i3 A significant Time × Group interaction on transfer scores showed IF posttest scores exceeded NF, IC, and OF groups. → Junting Yin 2025

Evidence¶

Junting Yin 2025¶

Junting Yin, Zheyu Jin, Yuxuan Zhang, Xuening Li, Yangzhuo Li, Guoping Zhang & Junlong Luo. (2025). Applying, not ignoring: how feedback uptake and neural synchrony drive creativity. npj Science of Learning 10:61. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-025-00351-0

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Repeated-measures ANOVA on AUT transfer items (umbrella, books) across four groups. The interaction was significant with printed effect size η2P ≥ 0.205; "the posttestscores in the IF group were also significantly higher than those in the NF group", the IC group, and the OF group on flexibility.

"Results demonstrated a significant interaction effect on creativity scores (fluency, flexibility, and uniqueness; Fs(3, 96) ≥ 8.269, ps < 0.001, η2 P ≥ 0.205)."
