The table presents the reaction time [ms] for each test. Data from pre-post are median values (interquartile range) as indicated. *Significant within-group differences pre-post (
*
p ≤ 0.05 and
**
p ≤ 0.01) calculated with Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p-values are two-tailed). For effect size r, r = 0.1 − 0.29 indicates a small effect,
a
r = 0.3 − 0.49 indicates a medium effect, and
b
r ≥ 0.5 indicates a large effect.
