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? In the 29 domain-general studies, creative tasks were never designed by domain experts or teachers, and participants were always students exploring only little-c creativity. → Sébastien Miravete 2024

Sébastien Miravete, André Tricot. (2024). Are Some People Generally More Creative Than Others? A Systematic Review of Fifty Years' Research. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09926-6
q2 · i? · review · r3
Review's Table 1 analysis: tasks were "designed solely by the experimenters", with only May et al. (2020) using one teacher-designed task. A second column notes "in 18 studies, the participants were undergraduate students; in 11 studies, the participants were K-12 students."
"Creative performance tasks are never designed by experts or teachers in the domain in these 29 studies. For instance, the creative story-writing tasks proposed to participants were not designed by professional writers or even literature teachers."
