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? Participants made multiple transitions between the four representations per animation, suggesting attempted integration across representations. → Mike Stieff 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Transition (saccade) analysis summarized by Figure 3, averaged across participants and the three interactive animations of the ten-participant study. "participants were clearly attempting to integrate the information in the different representations".
"the transition data indicated that participants were clearly attempting to integrate the information in the different representations, rather than relying exclusively on the most realistic representation"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Eye fixation data corroborated verbal protocols on the primary representation used (disagreement on only one trial) and revealed additional representations consulted but never mentioned verbally — related
- Gaze transitions show integrative cross-pane viewing, with most participants beginning on memory and cycling between code and memory — related
- Frequent eye transitions between graph and problem statement were marginally associated with correct answers — related
- In verbal protocols, references concentrated on the model (44.4%) and graph (39.4%) with few to the equation (16.1%), and students referenced multiple representations on 42.6% of questions — related
- Eye fixation measures of attention to representations were highly correlated with verbal mentions (correlations from .63 to .96), supporting both as measures of representation use — related
