q3 · i? · associational · r2

Whole-brain permutation test of spatiotemporal diversity (temporal stability of functional-system activation) comparing the two pedagogy groups, with a printed p = 0.013 and no effect size; stability was interpreted as the ability to maintain cognitive engagement over time.

"and lower STD (higher neural stability) (p = 0.013) (Fig. 4a) at the global level."
