q3 i? Subjective Units of Distress ratings did not differ significantly between guidance conditions, and overall anxiety levels were low. → Barhorst-Cates Erica M. 2017

Evidence¶

Barhorst-Cates Erica M. 2017¶

Barhorst-Cates Erica M., Rand Kristina M., Creem-Regehr Sarah H. (2017). Let Me be Your Guide: Physical Guidance Improves Spatial Learning for Older Adults with Simulated Low Vision. Experimental Brain Research. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-017-5063-8

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Repeated-measures ANOVA on SUDS ratings collected after each path in the same older-adult experiment. No significant guidance difference; the article notes mean ratings were low relative to its younger-adult guidance study (guided 23, unguided 30).

"we did not see a difference in SUDS reports (p=.125) between the guided (M=14.31, SE=3.07) and unguided (M=16.40, SE=3.48) conditions"
