Paired-samples t-test on written recognition scores of the same 61 participants (pre-test mean 5.3115, post-test mean 9.4098; t = -9.41, df = 60). The article reports the difference "was statistically significant since the p value was less than .05 (.000˂.05)".

"The data in Table 4 demonstrated that the difference between the participants’ pre-test and post-test scores in terms of recognition was statistically significant since the p value was less than .05 (.000˂.05)"
