q2 i? Over 40 years of aptitude-treatment interaction research produced few robust disordinal interactions; Cronbach and Snow's review concluded no ATI was well confirmed enough to guide instruction directly. → Leonard Tetzlaff 2021

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review of the ATI literature: the article reports that the vast majority of ATI studies found no or only ordinal interactions, and quotes Cronbach and Snow's conclusion that 'no aptitude by treatment interactions is so well confirmed that they can be used directly as guides to instruction.'

"Over the following 40 years, a lot of research was carried out using this paradigm —with remarkably sparse robust results (see Tobias 1989)."
