Subclaims¶

q2 i3 The reinstatement-prompt × fidelity interaction across T4 and T5 was significant (F(1, 21) = 6.59, p = 0.02) with a printed partial eta-squared of 0.24, driven by T5 one-week recall (simple interaction p = 0.006). → Joey Ka-Yee Essoe 2022 q2 i? After incongruent prompts, high-fidelity trials enjoyed a 10.1% one-week advantage (0.45 ± 0.19 vs 0.35 ± 0.20); the effect was absent after congruent prompts; no standardised effect size was printed for this contrast. → Joey Ka-Yee Essoe 2022 (2)

q2 · i3 · causal · r2

In the fMRI experiment's RM-ANOVA over recall trials, the article reports "a signi fi- cant interaction between reinstatement prompt and representa- tional fidelity" across T4 and T5 with a printed partial eta-squared effect size of ηp2 = 0.24 (F(1, 21) = 6.59, p = 0.02), driven by T5 (simple interaction p = 0.006, not T4).

"a signi fi- cant interaction between reinstatement prompt and representa- tional fidelity was observed across T4 and T5 (RM-ANOVA, F(1, 21) = 6.59, p = 0.02, ηp 2 = 0.24; not shown)"

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Follow-up analyses in the fMRI experiment showed that "After incongruent mental reinstatement" high-fidelity T4 recall yielded a 10.1% one-week advantage (0.45 ± 0.19 vs 0.35 ± 0.20); no standardised effect size was printed for this contrast, so impact is null.

"After incongruent mental reinstatement, if representational fidelity had been high during T4 recall, partici- pants enjoyed a 10.1% advantage one week later (0.45 ± 0.19) as compared to if representational fidelity had been low (0.35 ± 0.20)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Congruent mental reinstatement of the learning context enhanced short-delay recall transfer in a non-VR setting, regardless of learning-context group — related
• High representational fidelity of neural context reinstatement during covert retrieval predicted better verbal recall at both short and one-week delays — related
• Retrieval practice improves long-term retention — a broader claim this one bears on
