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.
q3 i? Recall was weaker after practice with answer-revealing images than after practice with images that appeared after the retrieval attempt. → van den Broek 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Classroom experiments comparing timing of images during vocabulary retrieval practice; recall was weaker when images appeared during the attempt than "after the retrieval attempt (Experiments 1 and 3)".
"compared with practice with images that appeared after the retrieval attempt (Experiments 1 and 3)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Images that reveal the answer during retrieval practice reduce vocabulary recall compared with practice without images — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Students consistently overestimated how much they learned with answer-revealing images — related
- Students incorrectly considered partially hinting images helpful — related
- Students recognized the harm of answer-revealing images only when images clearly revealed the answer — related
- Retrieval Failure Reduces Benefit — a broader claim this one bears on
