q3 · i? · causal · r2

Experiment 1 post-hoc comparison in Results: Standard Practice mean score change = 27.71 ± 3.39 S.E., t(29)= 8.18, P < 10−8, and a Bonferroni-corrected Tukey test versus the Reactivations group at P = 0.0001. No effect size is printed.

"The Standard Practice group showed the largest learning gains (mean score change = 27.71 ± 3.39 S.E., t(29)= 8.18, P < 10−8). Learning gains of the Standard Pr actice group were considerably higher than those of the Reactivat ions group (Post-hoc Tukey test, P = 0.0001, Bonferroni corrected)."
