q2 i? The Visual condition's post-test means were 1.75 points higher than the Text condition's, but the difference was not significant (p = .58). → Maaike E. Prangsma 2008

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Post-test ANOVA follow-up in the same classroom experiment: the Visual group (n=31) versus Text group (n=30) contrast was non-significant; equivalence was not tested. The authors note the means pointed in the hypothesised direction.

"On average, the scores of the Visual group on the post-test were 1.75 higher than the Text group scores, but this difference was not significant (p = .58)."
