Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Inhibition performance improved significantly from pretest (M = 0.39) to posttest (M = 0.51) after playing the situational training games, a medium effect (Cohen's d = 0.44). → Sora Chi-Fang Huang 2026

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Paired-sample t-test within the situational training game condition (n = 38) comparing Trail Making Test pre- and post-test scores. The test showed a medium effect size, Cohen’s d = 0.44 (t(37) = -− 2.74, p = .009).

"the result indicated a significant improvement in inhibition performance from pretest (M = 0.39, SD = 0.23) to posttest (M = 0.51, SD = 0.21), t(37) = -− 2.74, p = .009, Cohen’s d = 0.44, power = 0.76, indicating a medium effect size."
