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? Learners' effort ratings directly predicted their use of retrieval practice, and perceived learning did not appear to play a role, consistent with an effort-as-cost interpretation impeding engagement. → Anique B. H. de Bruin 2023

The review reports this correlational finding from research by Hui and colleagues (2022), attributing it to that study: learners limited effort regulation toward desirable difficulties because they experienced the costs of effort as too high.

"learners' effort ratings directly predicted their use of the desirable difficulty retrieval practice, and perceived learning did not appear to play a role."
