Karnath & colleagues (2000) examined the ability of patients with pusher syndrome to determine upright position while their eyes were occluded. The researchers found an altered perception of the body’s orientation in relation to gravity by using an experimental chair that allowed tilting the patient to the right or to the left without ground contact with their feet. Based on results of their research, at what degree of the experimental chair tilt did patients with Pusher Syndrome feel upright when their eyes were closed?

A researcher conducts an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine whether there are differences in exam grades among students using three different study strategies: re-reading the textbook and class notes (n = 44), taking practice tests available through the textbook publisher’s website (n = 39), or generating their own exam questions and practicing answering them (n = 39). The researcher calculates MSbetween = 225 and MSwithin = 40. The ANOVA reveals a significant treatment effect, but the researcher wants to quantify the size of the effect (eta squared). What percentage of the variance in exam scores was accounted for by the type of study strategy that students used? (Hint: Eta-squared is calculated as SSbetween/SStotal , so you will need to work backward from the MS values provided.)
