Subclaims¶
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? Transfer to tower building showed a non-significant trend favoring the adaptive condition (d = 0.48, p = 0.19). → Yannier 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Tower-building transfer measure scored on height, symmetry, and center of mass principles; ANOVA showed "a non-significant trend in favor of the adaptive condition". Adaptive towers improved while randomized did not.
"An ANOVA testing the effect of the two conditions on transfer to engineering outcomes (tower building) showed a non-significant trend in favor of the adaptive condition (F(1, 34) = 1.75, p = 0.19, d = 0.48)."
