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.
q2 i? A review of approximately 80 research studies demonstrated the effectiveness of teaching both discrimination and generalization processing with a large cross-section of students in varied settings. → Gary D. Phye 2012

The commentary cites the Klauer and Phye (2008) review, reporting that "a review of approximately 80 research studies" demonstrated effectiveness of teaching both discrimination and generalization processing across varied settings. No effect size is printed in the commentary.
"A review of approximately 80 research studies (Klauer and Phye 2008) has demonstrated the effectiveness of teaching both discrimination and generalization processing when working with a large cross-section of students in varied settings."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Training effects varied by inductive reasoning process: all processes except Cross classification developed significantly, with the largest effects in Recognizing and Differentiating relationships — related
- Across studies, high solution rates in the initial problem-solving phase co-occur with beneficial PS-I effects and low rates with no beneficial effects, a cross-study pattern not yet tested in a shared sample — related
