Subclaims¶

q3 i? There was no main effect of Cyberball condition and no condition-by-age interaction on n-back response times, and no significant within-group contrasts. → Fuhrmann D. 2019

Evidence¶

Fuhrmann D. 2019¶

Fuhrmann D., Casey C.S., Speekenbrink M., Blakemore S.-J. (2019). Social exclusion affects working memory performance in young adolescent girls. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100718

q3 · i? · causal · r2

GLMM analysis of n-back response times in the 98-participant Cyberball experiment found no main effect (χ2(1) = 0.20, p = 0.656) and no interaction with age group (χ2(2) = 3.27, p = 0.195); no effect size was printed and equivalence was not tested.

"There was no main effect of Cyberball condition for n-back response times (χ2(1) = 0.20, p = 0.656), indicating that overall, there was no difference in performance between exclusion and inclusion (Table 2). There was also no significant interaction between Cyberball condition and age group (χ2(2) = 3.27, p = 0.195)"

Related Claims¶

• Cyberball exclusion lowers mood in young adolescents, mid-adolescents and adults alike
• Mood changes do not moderate the effect of exclusion on working memory performance
• Cyberball exclusion reduces n-back verbal working memory accuracy in young adolescent girls but not in mid-adolescents or adults
• Social exclusion has no significant effect on visuo-spatial dot-matrix working memory accuracy in any age group
• Working memory performance increases from baseline to the first post-induction trial across all age groups and conditions, consistent with practice effects — related
