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? Memory of the appearance of certain architectural elements was better with geometric contrast than with stop light colors. → Glaser 2022
Evidence¶
Glaser 2022¶
Glaser, M., Lengyel, D., Toulouse, C., & Schwan, S. (2022). How Do We Deal with Uncertain Information? Effects of Verbal and Visual Expressions of Uncertainty on Learning. Educational Psychology Review (2022) 34:1097–1131. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-022-09659-4
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Post-hoc comparison in the results table for the interaction on memory of appearance of certain elements shows "Geometric contrast > stop light colors" with a 95% confidence interval; no standardized effect size is printed.
"Certain: Geometric contrast > stop light colors [0.006 0.300]"
