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 i1 Watching first-person recordings led to higher task performance than watching third-person recordings (η2 = 0.02). → de Jonge 2026
Evidence¶
de Jonge 2026¶
de Jonge, T. H. S., de Koning, B. B., & van Wermeskerken, M. (2026). It's all a matter of expectancy: How expectancies about task execution perspective influence learning through video modeling examples. Learning and Instruction, 105, 102422. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2026.102422
q3 · i1 · causal · r2
Mixed-design ANOVA in the main analysis of the experiment with 128 undergraduates recreating circuit configurations. The main effect of recording angle was significant with "η2 = 0.02", a small effect; means were 6.83 (first-person) versus 6.08 (third-person).
"the results of the mixed-design ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of recording angle, F(1, 124) = 5.24, p = .024, η2 = 0.02, with higher performance when having watched first-person recordings (M = 6.83, SD = 2.82) compared to third-person recordings (M = 6.08, SD = 3.01)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Alignment between recording angle and expected task angle strongly improves task performance, supporting the Expectation Alignment Hypothesis — related
- Recording angle alone does not affect self-reported cognitive load during video observation or task execution — related
- Full alignment of recording, expected, and task angles yields significantly higher task performance than any non-full-alignment configuration — reports the opposite
- Mismatch between recording angle and expected angle increases cognitive load both during video observation and during task execution — related
- Mental rotation ability moderates the alignment benefit: higher-ability participants benefit more from recording–expected angle alignment — related
