Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The adaptive role-switching peer agent outperformed both the fixed tutor and fixed tutee agents on combined vocabulary learning and affective engagement. → Chen 2020

In the randomized controlled between-subject experiment with fifty-nine children aged 5–7, the authors report that "our adaptive peer-like agent brought the most benefit to children's vocabulary learning and affective engagement, as compared to an agent that interacts only as a tutor or tutee."
"our adaptive peer-like agent brought the most benefit to children's vocabulary learning and affective engagement, as compared to an agent that interacts only as a tutor or tutee for the child"
