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.
q2 i3 Recall accuracy showed a significant main effect of learning condition (ηp2 = 0.73), with feedback retrieval significantly outperforming both restudy and no-feedback retrieval, and restudy outperforming no-feedback retrieval. → Jing Zhang 2025

q2 · i3 · causal · r1
Repeated-measures ANOVA of word-pair recall rates across the three learning conditions; ηp2 = 0.73 with the printed pairwise comparisons, indicating different memory strengths under the three conditions.
"The results showed a significant main effect of learning condition [F(2,92) = 125.27, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.73]. Further simple effect analysisrevealed that the retrieval practice with feedback group significantly outperformed both the restudy and retrieval practice without feedback groups (p < 0.001), and the restudy group significantly outperformed the no-feedback group (p = 0.001)"
