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? The only significant presentation-mode effect was on the delayed posttest, where CBI subjects (M = 7.95) surpassed print subjects (M = 7.00), F(1,186) = 8.61, p < .01. → Ross 1988

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Follow-up univariate tests from the 2 x 2 MANOVA on achievement in the randomized experiment. No other presentation-mode effects on achievement were significant.
"The only significant presentation mode effect occurred on the delayed posttest, on which CBI subjects (M = 7.95) surpassed print subjects (M = 7.00), F (1,186) = 8.61, p < .01."
