q1 · i? · design · r2

The authors' interpretation in the Discussion of their single-session dynamic assessment procedure, in which feedback was provided following each experiment and incorrect designs were explained and demonstrated. No separate effect size is printed for this teaching claim.

"The CVS can presumably be taught, and we have shown that dynamic assessment can be used, as an instructional method, to teach it in a single session."
