Cohen’s d’ is a within subjects measure of effect size; a value of .57 is considered large according to conventions of the meta-analysis literature.28

A log2 transformation was applied to the mean Performance Time scores to correct for skewness of the distribution of scores. A decrease in performance time represents an improvement.
