One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

🔗

A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant effect of study method on memory test scores (see the ANOVA table above), $F(2, 57) = 24.72, p \lt .001\text{.}$ Post hoc Tukey’s HSD tests indicated that participants in the testing condition scored significantly higher than participants in the flashcards and rereading conditions. Mean scores (M ± SD) were 75.2 ± 8.1 for flashcards, 69.8 ± 9.0 for rereading, and 84.9 ± 7.1 for testing, demonstrating that the testing method produced the highest memory performance.
