Subclaims¶

q3 i? Neither the main effect of Cyberball condition nor its interaction with age group was significant for dot-matrix accuracy, and no age group showed a significant inclusion-exclusion difference. → 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 dot-matrix visuo-spatial working memory accuracy in the same 98-participant experiment found no main effect (χ2(1) = 0.42, p = 0.516) and no condition-by-age interaction (χ2(2) = 0.44, p = 0.802); equivalence was not tested and no effect size was printed.

"There was no main effect of Cyberball condition for dot-matrix accuracy (χ2(1) = 0.42, p = 0.516), indicating that overall performance was matched between exclusion and inclusion (Table 2). The interaction between Cyberball condition and age group was not significant (χ2(2) = 0.44, p = 0.802)."

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
• Social exclusion shows no significant effect on n-back response times in any age group
• Cyberball exclusion reduces n-back verbal working memory accuracy in young adolescent girls but not in mid-adolescents or adults — related
