The authors report ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size#Cohen's_d Cohen's d]'' along with their regression estimates of the main effects. Look up the formula for ''Cohen's d.'' Discuss the ''substantive'' or ''practical'' significance of the estimates given the magnitudes of the ''d'' values reported. | The authors report ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size#Cohen's_d Cohen's d]'' along with their regression estimates of the main effects.
