Mr. Jones wants to have a parent-teacher conference with the parents of Raven Appleton. Raven's grades have been declining for the past eight weeks. The Appletons have noticed academic and behavioral changes in Raven's behavior over the past two months as well. After repeated attempts and scheduling conflicts, a conference is set in the middle of the school day. During the conference, the

Appletons express their concerns about their daughter's changing behaviors, and Mr. Jones reports on Raven's academic records that show her declining progress. The Appletons leave the conference frustrated and upset. How could the outcome have been changed for the better?

a. Mr. Jones could have provided samples of Raven's work in all curricular areas to illustrate her struggles.
b. Mr. Jones could have recognized that he, as the teacher, likely has significantly more social capital than the Appletons do and tried harder to make them more comfortable.
c. Mr. Jones could have also provided information about Raven's behavior and about his perception of her social functioning.
d. Mr. Jones could have recommended that Raven be referred for testing in case she has a learning disability or attention-deficit disorder.

Twenty participants from two different age groups (18–25 years and 26–40 years) took part. All participants in both age groups took part in all three conditions of the experiment (in counterbalanced order), and their driving accuracy was measured by a layperson who remained unaware of the experimental hypothesis. Which of the following output tables is not relevant for analysing the data from the current example?
