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 test for linear contrasts revealed no significant difference between procedural and conceptual feedback on posttest achievement. → Fynn Töllner 2026

Fynn Töllner, Poldi Kuhl, Michael Besser. (2026). Feedback complexities interact with prior knowledge. Learning and Instruction 105 (2026) 102413. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2026.102413
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Linear contrast in the N = 190 multilevel RCT comparing the two elaborated feedback groups; both groups' standard errors overlapped noticeably. Conceptual feedback yielded the highest raw posttest mean (12.38) but was not statistically significantly better.
"Regarding the provision of different types of elaborated feedback, the test for linear contrasts revealed no significant differences between procedural and conceptual feedback t(3.46) = 2.75, p = .361, 95% CI [ 10.75, 3.53]."
