These include establishing which aspects of auditory training protocols contribute to learning, how auditory training generalizes to benefits in everyday communication and quality of life, and how individual characteristics interact with training outcomes to identify candidacy for auditory training.
We were also interested in determining how contextual cues might interact with training – that is, do cues require training to be effective?
We were also interested in whether different types of cues would be differentially effective and whether contextual cues might interact with training – that is, do some cues require training to be effective?
Rats with LMN lesions took significantly longer to locate the hidden platform, F 1, 10) = 15.7, p <.0005, and this effect did not interact with training session, Group × Session interaction, F 9, 90) = 1.41, p =.20.
After running an ANOVA to check that game set did not interact with training condition F(2) = 1.91, p = .16, η = .05, the game set was entered as a covariate in an ANCOVA.
This factor did not interact with training mode factor.
This factor did not interact with training mode.
Pre-planned contrasts showed that the number of velocity peaks was lower for the circle (E2: m = 9.3) than the horizontal (E1: m = 13.2) and vertical (E2: m = 14.1) ellipses (F 1,23) = 19.67; p<.01) This factor did not interact with training mode factor.
Pre-planned contrasts showed that the mean velocity was lower for the circle (E2: m = 4.70 cm/s) than the horizontal (E1: m = 5.86 cm/s) and vertical (E2: m = 5.77 cm/s) ellipses (F 1,23) = 30.53; p<.05) This factor did not interact with training session factor.
The significant two-way interaction indicates the critical roles that gender and learning style played in interacting with training method.
