All trials in Experiment 1 began with a 30 s pre-test period in which the stimuli were viewed continuously, so as to reduce the likelihood of observers becoming biased to one direction over the other at test onset.
Period 1 (pre-test period) included patients admitted between 1 January 2008 and 30 September 2010.
The day of observation was changed at only one school during the pre-test period.
Their scoring was calibrated, and at the end of the pre-test period their convergence rate was 0.99.
Following a 3-day training and pre-test period, the pilot study was conducted between August 25 27, 2009 (the rainy season).
Independent sample t-tests were conducted to compare the pre-test scores (obtained in pre-test period) between CT and TE groups.
Period 1 (pre-test period) comprised patients hospitalized during 2004 to 2006, and period 2 (post-test period) involved patients hospitalized during 2008 to 2010.
Data collection has resulted in around 3000 births for the pre-test period and will result in 3000 births for the post-test period.
For TFL test, the intensity of the light bulb was set such that the baseline reaction time was 3.0 ± 0.5 sec during the pre-test period.
Following drug administration, rats were placed into separate holding cages, with ad libitum access to water for the duration of the post-injection, pre-test period.
The pre-test period (period 1) included patients discharged between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2006, and the post-test period (period 2) comprised patients discharged between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2010.
