Pretest of a randomized three-condition experiment (N = 96) using the misconceptions-about-multimedia-learning questionnaire. The negative average score indicates misconceptions were present across conditions: "the misconception score in the pretest was negative (M = −0.53, SD = 1.00)".

"Overall, the misconception score in the pretest was negative (M = −0.53, SD = 1.00), with no significant difference between the conditions, F(2, 93) = 0.08, p = 0.922, η2 < 0.01."
