q2 · i? · associational · r1

Pearson correlation analysis of performance scores against SURG-TLX mental-workload scores (six domains, each scored 1 to 20, summed) collected at the end of each attempt. Only p-values are printed; equivalence was not tested.

"The Pearson correlation between performance and mental workload was not significant for the Tubes task (Pearson correlation; p-value = 0.37), Suture Sponge task (Pearson correlation; p-value = 0.79), and Dots and Needles task (Pearson correlation; p-value = 0.97)."
