q2 · i? · associational · r1

Dataset validation check examining the association between average attention-difficulty ratings and normalized quiz learning gains for the two videos with pre- and post-video quizzes. The authors characterize this as convergent evidence, not a direct or exhaustive validation of the construct.

"Appendix E.1 shows that videos with higher average attention difficulty were associated with lower normalized quiz learning gains, providing evidence that the ratings align with quiz-based learning outcomes."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Attention — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
