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 i2 The gesture recognition group achieved significantly better executive function (working memory) scores than the control group (ANCOVA F = 5.91, p = 0.018; η² = 0.085, a medium effect). → Hsien-Sheng Hsiao 2025

Hsien-Sheng Hsiao, I-Hsiung Chang, Yi-Hsuan Chen, & Jyun-Chen Chen. (2025). Using gesture recognition with the memory strategy to improve preschoolers’ learning performance, motor skills, and executive function. Education Tech Research Dev, 73, 1791–1809. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-025-10471-4
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Working memory was measured with the Chinese Working Memory Test for Young Children via one-on-one interviews; "the EG achieved significantly better scores than the CG" with η² = 0.085, a medium effect.
"The ANCOVA results showed that the EG achieved significantly better scores than the CG (F = 5.91, p = 0.018 < 0.05). The pretest score as the covariate was 27.76, and the adjusted mean scores were 30.41 for the EG and 28.67 for the CG. Moreover, the η 2 value was provided as a substitute for effect size (η 2 = 0.085)"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Working Memory — outcome: instruction changes it
