q3 i2 In the immediate test, the VNT group achieved a significantly higher MICS comprehension score than the T group and the NT group, with no significant difference between T and NT. → Lin 2016

One-way ANOVA on the immediate MICS test showed a significant main effect for Group, F (2, 95) = 7.19, p = .001. The author suggests the video presented concrete images of referents, so VNT participants could build mental connections between words or supporting details and images.

"the VNT group achieved a significantly higher MICS comprehension score ( M = 55.28) than the T group ( M = 48.45), r = .36, p = .009, and the NT group (M = 48.13), r = .38, p = .005"
