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? Neither conceptual nor procedural elaborated feedback differed significantly from KR feedback on posttest achievement. → Fynn Töllner 2026
Evidence¶
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 contrasts from the same multilevel model of the N = 190 RCT found no statistically significant difference between either elaborated feedback type and KR feedback; equivalence was not tested.
"Accordingly, as the test for linear contrasts demonstrated, neither conceptual feedback t(4.08) = 1.78, p = .888, 95% CI [ 12.79, 5.85] nor procedural feedback t(4.64) = 0.06, p = 1.00, 95% CI [ 9.78, 9.50] differed significantly from KR feedback."
