q2 i? In an initial study with sixth-grade children, children who chose to look at the catalog of charts learned much more about mixing additive color, and their catalog engagement time predicted about 35 percent of the variation in their mathematics grades. → Daniel L.

q2 · i? · associational · r?

An initial study using a similar environment with sixth-grade children found children who chose to look at the catalog of charts learned much more about mixing additive color than their counterparts did. The reported 35 percent figure is a prediction of grade variation, not a standardized effect size.

"the amount of time students committed to figuring out the catalog entries predicted about 35 percent of the variation in the students' grades in their mathematics classes"
