Subclaims¶

q2 i? The embedded figures test correlated relatively highly with an intelligence test, suggesting intellectual capacity might influence results. → Tamaoka 1985

q2 · i? · the article prints no effect size for this finding · review · r2

The review reports that, unlike the three orientation tests, "a relatively high correlation was found between the embedded figures test and the intelligence test", so the intellectual capacity of subjects might influence embedded figures results.

"a relatively high correlation was found between the embedded figures test and the intelligence test."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
• General Cognitive Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
