Area of Science:

  • Child Neuropsychology
  • Applied Statistical Analysis

Background:

  • Common issues in applied statistical analysis can compromise research integrity.
  • Child neuropsychological research often faces specific statistical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and discuss prevalent statistical problems in child neuropsychological research.
  • To provide guidelines for addressing these issues in manuscript preparation.

Main Methods:

  • Review and discussion of common statistical problems.
  • Formulation of recommendations for applied statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Identified issues include over-reliance on null hypothesis statistical testing, inadequate power analysis, inappropriate use of asymptotic approximations, handling of missing data, multiplicity problem, stepwise regression, and lack of model diagnostics.
