closeTypos in the article

Didn't anyone else notice that there is a typo in equation (64) of "Figure 3. The equation text used in the present study."
In the second line, there is an extra parenthesis at the end of the line. (Checked by reproducing it with LaTeX input.)
If the authors can't evaluate their source document properly, how are they to determine that the participants in the study have made an error?
Asking someone fluent in math notation to knowingly reproduce such an error likely to guarantee a skewed result.

Interestingly, the issue of the journal in which this text is said to appear is no longer posted on the Springer site, so it is impossible to check the original.
