Debunked: Does listening to mommy ASMR make your dungeon runs faster?
A recent post by user u/LoveFlashy4169 claimed that listening to mommy ASMR could make dungeon runs around (in their study) ~12% faster. However, their study had two flaws: one, the sample size was too small (n = 6), and two, no statistical testing was performed. So, I have taken it upon myself to rectify this situation.
Like the previous study, I did simple clears of F6, no secrets, just clearing. That included doing puzzles, although I skipped all instances of water board (n = 7). But unlike the previous study, instead of 3 runs with and 3 runs without mommy ASMR, I did 15 runs each, for a total of 30 runs.
So that netted me the following results (in seconds):
WITH mommy ASMR: 189 204 159 160 191 183 180 224 214 174 195 180 204 200 139 (MEAN = 186.4, SD = 22.39)
withOUT mommy ASMR: 164 215 193 177 186 193 195 196 168 183 181 185 185 208 190 (MEAN = 187.9, SD = 13.3)
That results in p > 0.81, from which it can be safely concluded that there is no statistically significant effect of listening to mommy ASMR on dungeon run time.
