My comment:

Si los sujetos son seleccionados únicamente porqué la puntuación es extremadamente baja, después de la pruba tenderán a obtener mayor puntuación, independientemente del tratamiento. Lo contrario también es cierto. Ambos son ejemplos de casos extremos regresionando hacia la media de la población
