The result that surprised me was that there wasn’t that much difference in
the group that performed ta’chi mediation and the group that performed
aerobic and sedentary.
7. Notice that when the authors described their results, like in the final
paragraph, they say that t’ai chi and meditation+exercise may be associated
with performance on executive function. This is a particular (and a little
peculiar) phrase, one that they used very deliberately. We'll dig into this term
in some detail later in the course, but for now, I want you to think about the
difference between may be associated with and caused . Take a chance
here to guess what you think the difference is between these two
phrases. 1 point
I believe that the two variables are related however it doesn’t necessarily
mean that there is a relationship or cause/effect between the two.
