Comment by Christina Keelan on September 23, 2008 at 10:22pm - errr. I am sorry if this seems redundant...... In regards to titles, do we need to put "Opening", "General Background", "Specific Background", and "Closing" or is it just a couple of them? I think we are confusing ourselves at the last second heheh..... Any help is appreciated (doesn't have to be from Dr. D.) ^_^ Thanks! c.

Do we need statistical significance in the paper?
And would anybody happen to know what these numbers mean?:
slower reaction times (F2,28 = 5.16, P<.05) and more errors (F2,28 = 6.58, P<.05)
