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? Quiz questions requiring more than factual answers trigger organizing, elaborating, and generating inferences, so their benefits are likely driven in part by generative learning activities, not retrieval practice alone. → Julian Roelle 2023

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review's analysis of practice-quizzing research argues that higher-level quiz questions, unlike restudy controls, "engage learners in generative learning activities such as organizing, elaborating, and generating inferences as well," so their effects are likely partly generative. This is the review's interpretive argument, not a new experiment.

"However, unlike restudy or note-taking (frequent control conditions in practice quizzing research), quiz questions requiring more than just factual answers engage learners in generative learning activities such as organizing, elaborating, and generating inferences as well"
