q2 i? On Test 1 task 4 (dividing a cut rectangle into equal areas), multimedia groups scored significantly higher at both faculties (e.g., Architecture 17.8 vs 13.2, t = –4.265, p = 0.000). → Marina Milovanoviü 2013 q2 i? Average scores on tasks 1, 2 and 3 were practically the same between groups, with several task-level comparisons non-significant (e.g., Test 2 task 1 Architecture, p = 0.405). → Marina Milovanoviü 2013 (2)

Task-level analysis of Tables 1 and 2 (25 students per group per faculty). Test 1 task 4: Architecture 17.8 vs 13.2 (t = –4.265, p = 0.000); CCM 17.76 vs 13.6 (t = –3.918, p = 0.000). The authors attribute this to needing to "see given bodies and intersections by using movements in three-dimensional space".

"students from both multimedia groups were remarkably more successful in solving problems which demand visual comprehension (tasks 4 and 5), while the average scores in tasks 1, 2 and 3 were practically the same on the both groups"

Table 1 shows several non-significant task-level comparisons, e.g., Test 1 task 1 Architecture (t = –1.047, p = 0.3) and Test 2 task 1 Architecture (t = –0.84, p = 0.405), consistent with the authors' statement that early definitional tasks showed no group difference.
