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? For congruent new-words answered correctly on day 1, recognition dropped from 62.8% to 50.4% when feedback was removed in the second half (OR = 1.66, p = 0.034), but did not significantly change for the group who started without feedback. → Vavra 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r2
GLMM on day-2 recognition of congruent items correctly answered on day 1, recognition-test group (N = 29), chance level 25%. Feedback-by-order interaction for congruent trials was significant (p = 0.021).
"For congruent new-words only, withdrawing feedback lead to a significant drop in memory performance (62.8% vs. 50.4%, odds-ratio =1.66 ± 0.4, p = 0.034) while the decrease in performance did not significantly differ for the group who started off without feedback (odds- ratio = 0.75 ± 0.18, p = 0.24; for congruent only, interaction of feedback by order: odds-ratio = 2.21 ± 0.75, p = 0.021)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In a laboratory word-learning task, introducing feedback in the second half of learning improved immediate meaning-extraction performance, while withdrawing feedback produced no significant drop on day 1 — related
- In the laboratory experiment, feedback order effects on next-day recognition were specific to congruent trials, with a trend for feedback boosting incongruent-item memory regardless of timing — related
- In the laboratory experiment, next-day recognition was higher for congruent new-word meanings than for incongruent items, while day-1 performance showed the opposite pattern — related
