A corrigendum on
The Effects of a Magic Intervention Program on Cognitive Function and Neurocognitive Performance in Elderly Individuals With Mild Cognitive Impairment

by Lee, K.-T., Wang, W.-L., Lin, W.-C., Yang, Y.-C., and Tsai, C.-L. (2022). Front. Aging Neurosci. 14:854984. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.854984

In the published article, there were errors. Mean ± standard error was incorrectly used instead of mean ± deviation, the numbers of MMSE scores were misplaced, and the 2nd decimal place of the mean of P3 amplitude in the congruent condition and baseline of intervention group were misplaced.

A correction has been made to Results, Cognitive Performance, Paragraph 1 and 2:

As illustrated in Figure 2, the RM-ANOVA on the MoCA scores revealed significant main effects of time [F(1,22) = 32.42, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.60]. The post hoc analyses showed that the post-intervention MoCA scores (27.00 ± 2.60) were higher than the pre-intervention MoCA scores (24.67 ± 2.70) across the two groups. The main effect was superseded by the significant group × time [F(1,22) = 16.54, p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.43] interaction. The post hoc analyses for the group × time interaction revealed that post-intervention MoCA scores (27.83 ± 1.75) were higher than the pre-intervention MoCA scores (23.83 ± 2.41) in the magic intervention group.

In addition, the RM-ANOVA on the MMSE scores revealed significant main effects of time [F(1,22) = 11.63, p = 0.003, ηp2 = 0.35]. The post hoc analyses showed that the post-intervention MMSE score (28.63 ± 1.76) was higher than the pre-intervention MMSE score (27.04 ± 1.57) for the two groups. However, there was no significant difference for the group × time interaction.

A correction has been made to Results, Behavioral Performance, Paragraph 1 and 2:

As illustrated in Figure 3, the RM-ANOVA on the accuracy revealed significant effects of group × time [F(1,22) = 4.95, p = 0.037, ηp2 = 0.18] and condition [F(1,22) = 10.17, p = 0.004, ηp2 = 0.32]. The post hoc analyses revealed that in the magic intervention group, the post-intervention accuracy (99.4 ± 1.0%) were higher than the pre-intervention accuracy (98.5 ± 2.6%), and the accuracy in the congruent condition (99.6 ± 1.1%) were higher than in the incongruent one (97.4 ± 4.2%) across the two groups and the two time points.

In addition, the RM-ANOVA on the reaction times revealed significant effects of group × time interaction [F(1,22) = 4.44, p = 0.047, ηp2 = 0.17] and condition [F(1,22) = 101.21, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.82]. The post hoc analyses showed that in the magic intervention group, post-intervention reaction times (571.31 ± 75.38 ms) were shorter than the pre-intervention reaction times (621.39 ± 88.15 ms) and the reaction times in the incongruent condition (657.51 ± 106.60 ms) were longer than those in the congruent condition (573.84 ± 81.21 ms) across the two groups and the two time points.

A correction has been made to Results, P3 Amplitude, Paragraph 1 and 2:

As illustrated in Figure 4, the RM-ANOVA on the P3 amplitudes revealed significant main effects of time [F(1,22) = 8.46, p = 0.008, ηp2 = 0.28] and condition [F(1,22) = 10.94, p = 0.003, ηp2 = 0.33]. The post hoc analyses showed that the post-intervention P3 amplitudes (9.54 ± 4.21 μV) were larger than those in the pre-intervention P3 amplitudes (7.22 ± 5.13 μV) across the two groups, the two conditions, and the three electrodes, and the P3 amplitudes in the incongruent condition (7.91 ± 4.87 μV) were smaller than those in the congruent condition (8.84 ± 4.76 μV) across the two groups, the three electrodes, and the two time points.

Moreover, the RM-ANOVA on the P3 amplitudes indicated significant effects of group × time interaction [F(1,22) = 4.59, p = 0.043, ηp2 = 0.17]. The post hoc analyses showed that in the magic intervention group the post-intervention P3 amplitudes (9.41 ± 4.78 μV) were larger than the pre-intervention P3 amplitudes (5.37 ± 5.80 μV).

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
