a

Games-Howell post-hoc tests on one-way ANOVA by group found that TYPMUS performed significantly better than DYSNonMUS; DYSMUS and DYSNonMUS did not significantly differ

b

Games-Howell post-hoc tests on one-way ANOVA by group found that TYPMUS performed significantly better than DYSMUS, who are in turn better than DYSNonMUS

c

Games-Howell post-hoc tests on one-way ANOVA by group found that TYPMUS performed significantly better than DYSMUS and DYSNonMUS; DYSMUS and DYSNonMUS did not significantly differ
