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 i2 Task complexity had a moderate effect on meta-awareness in Round 1 only (η2 = 0.07). → Ines Zeitlhofer 2024

Evidence¶

Ines Zeitlhofer 2024¶

Ines Zeitlhofer, Joerg Zumbach, Judith Schweppe. (2024). Complexity affects performance, cognitive load, and awareness. Learning and Instruction 94 (2024) 102001. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2024.102001

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

In the N = 98 experiment, meta-awareness was measured with four ranked categories based on Woll (2019); the Round 1 effect was moderate with printed effect size η2 = 0.07 (F (1,84) = 6.07, p < .02).

"Concerning meta-awareness, the findings indicated a moderate effect of task complexity on meta-awareness in Round 1 (F (1,84) = 6.07, p < .02, η2 = 0.07)."
