q3 i3 Congruent reinstatement trials at T4 yielded 52% ± 18% recall versus 47% ± 19% for incongruent trials, with a printed partial eta-squared of 0.31. → Joey Ka-Yee Essoe 2022

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

In the behavioural experiment's non-VR short-delay test with cued mental reinstatement, "congruent mental reinstatement trials exhibited significantly greater recall" than incongruent trials; the article prints a partial eta-squared effect size of ηp2 = 0.31 (p = 0.009), a large effect.

"During T4, congruent mental reinstatement trials exhibited significantly greater recall (52% ± 18%) than incongruent reinstatement trials (47% ± 19%), RM-ANOVA, p = 0.009, ηp 2 = 0.31"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• After one-week delay, high-fidelity reinstatement benefited recall only following incongruent pre-recall reinstatement prompts, suggesting a desirable-difficulty effect — related
• High representational fidelity of neural context reinstatement during covert retrieval predicted better verbal recall at both short and one-week delays — related
• In educational learning, prior-knowledge congruency enhances associative memory for indirectly inferred BC-associations in both experiments — related
