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 i3 A significant main effect of uncertainty value on memory for the appearance of architectural elements favored certain over uncertain elements. → Glaser 2022

Glaser 2022¶
Glaser, M., Lengyel, D., Toulouse, C., & Schwan, S. (2022). How Do We Deal with Uncertain Information? Effects of Verbal and Visual Expressions of Uncertainty on Learning. Educational Psychology Review (2022) 34:1097–1131. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-022-09659-4
q3 · i3 · causal · r?
Mixed ANOVA in the Results section of the experiment with 124 participants, condition as between-subjects and uncertainty value as within-subject factor, showed a main effect of uncertainty value on memory for element appearance with "ηp2 = 0.678". Table 2 reports the post-hoc ordering "Certain > uncertain".
"The results showed a significant main effect of uncertainty value, F (2, 240) = 252.625, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.678."
