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.

The hint presentation and L and rL condition showed no increase in test scores on identical problems. → Relations between cognitive resources and two types of germane load for learning 2015 q2 i? The hint presentation and L and rL condition also showed no significant increase on near-transfer problems. → Relations between cognitive resources and two types of germane load for learning 2015 (2)

q2 · i0 · causal · r1

In the identical-problem category of the Reversi experiment, "there was no increase in the hint presentation and L and rL condition (t(20) < 1, n.s.)", contrasting with substantial increases in the Black and White conditions.

"Conversely, there was no increase in the hint presentation and L and rL condition (t(20) < 1, n.s.)."

q2 · i0 · causal · r1

In the near-transfer problem category, no significant "increase was found in the hint presentation and L and rL condition ( t(20) = 1.24, n.s.)"; equivalence was not tested.

"increase was found in the hint presentation and L and rL condition ( t(20) = 1.24, n.s.)."
