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? 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.)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Cognitive Overload Degrades Learning — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Test-score increases occurred only for identical and near-transfer problems; no increases were found for far-transfer problems in any of the three conditions — related
- There are two types of germane load: one that increases with an increase in intrinsic load and one that increases as intrinsic load decreases — related
- Rootless Podman isolation maintained containment with no observed privilege escalation or cross-identity contamination under classroom load — related
