Subclaims¶

q3 i? Post hoc tests showed no significant difference between movement-with-mirror and movement-only conditions on the final math test (p=0.96) or practice performance (p=0.93). → Margina Ruiter & Sofie Loyens & Fred Paas 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Final math test analysis in the randomized experiment: post hoc Gabriel test comparing move-and-mirror (N=27) with move-only (N=28) found no significant difference; equivalence was not tested. Practice-phase Games-Howell test was likewise non-significant (p=0.93).

"A post hoc Gabriel test showed no significant difference between the movement conditions with and without self-observation, p=0.96, η2=∼0"
