q3 · i? · causal · r2

Pre-study with 33 undergraduate students randomly assigned to distinguish either motions of links or arrangements of joined pairs, presented in quadrants with feedback. Mean correct identifications were 18.53 of 20 (92.65%) for motions and 15.56 of 16 (97.25%) for arrangements; no inferential test or effect size is printed.

"On average, 18.53 moving links (92.65%, SD = 1.18) and 15.56 arrangements of pairs of joined links were identified correctly (97.25%, SD = 0.81). The results demonstrate that the learners were able to sufficiently distinguish between the motions as well as the arrangements they were shown."
