  1. Note: The table above shows 20 training results. Referring to Table 1, t-test was used if the data of the model and the control group were both in normal distribution, otherwise U test was used. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, —missing value because respective test cannot be used, #the result of escape latency is inconsistent with that of new indices in this training.
