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 i? Each of the four experiments in the larger research project showed a main effect of visualization with an advantage of the dynamic visual design, especially for transfer tasks and partly factual knowledge scores. → Tim Kühl 2022

Summary of the four prior experiments (Kühl, 2021; Kühl & Münzer, 2019; Kühl et al., 2018a, 2018b) whose pooled data were reanalyzed, establishing the animation as 'demonstrably the optimized visual design' for the Kepler's second law materials.
"All four single experiments have shown a main effect of visualization with an advantage of the dynamic visual design compared with the static visual design, especially for transfer tasks and partly also factual knowledge scores"
