East meets west: a mobile brain-computer system that helps children living in poverty learn to self-regulate - Personal and Ubiquitous Computing

3. The algorithm for calculating the mediation and attention indices is proprietary; however, we know that the mediation index is based on alpha/theta frequencies and attention on beta frequencies. Various studies have validated their accuracy.

9. Note that now that we have defined our measures, we replace descriptive construct names from the initial statement of hypotheses (e.g., behavioral measures of ability to self-regulate anxiety) with our operationalized construct names (e.g., Calm).

10. Cohen suggested that d = 0.2 be considered a “small” effect size, 0.5 represents a “medium” effect size, and 0.8 a “large” effect size (ADD REF).
