Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Learning-curve accuracy showed a large effect of block number (η2 = 0.64) but no significant differences among groups in either module, indicating behavioral measures were less sensitive than neural measures. → Anderson 2019

Module 1 learning-curve analysis of proportion-correct across five blocks: accuracy increased over blocks with a large effect ("F(3.22, 580.24) = 315.15, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.64") but no significant group differences ("F(2, 180) = 3.04, p = 0.05, η2 = 0.03"). Module 2 likewise showed no group differences.

"There was a signi ficant effect of block number on neuroanatomical structure identi fication perfor-mance, F(3.22, 580.24) = 315.15, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.64. There were no significant differences among groups, F(2, 180) = 3.04, p = 0.05, η2 = 0.03."

• During initial learning, the interleaved 2D/3D group showed reduced reward positivity from block 2 onward, diverging from both the 2D and 3D groups — related
• Reward positivity showed no forgetting-curve lapse after ~30 days despite a lapse in behavioral accuracy, indicating retained ability to internally evaluate responses — related
• Spatial ability correlated positively with neuroanatomy performance across pretest and both quizzes in a crossover 3D-module study (Allen et al.) — related
• AR and 2D methods boosted knowledge similarly, but the 3D AR method drew greater satisfaction and student preference (Lopez et al.) — related
