Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i2 After using the situational training games, participants' inhibition ability was significantly higher than after using casual games, with a medium effect size (η2ₚ = .068). → Sora Chi-Fang Huang 2026

q3 · i2 · causal · r1

ANCOVA on Trail Making Test post-test scores with 38 college students, game type as between-group variable and pre-test as covariate. The between-group comparison showed a medium effect size, η2ₚ = .068 (F (1, 37) = 5.35, p = .024).

"After using the situational training games, participants’ inhibition ability was significantly higher than after using casual games, with an average improvement ranging from 0.39 to 0.51, F (1, 37) = 5.35, p = .024, η2ₚ = .068, observed power = .64, indicating a medium effect size."
