Subclaims¶

q2 i2 In Study 1, ICL and ECL were positively correlated (r = 0.29), whereas ICL–GCL (r = −0.36) and ECL–GCL (r = −0.38) correlations were negative. → Krieglstein 2023

Correlational analysis between the three components in the Study 1 PCA sample (n = 69). The article reports "ICL and ECL were posi- tively correlated (r = 0.29; p = 0.015)" and negative GCL correlations as printed.

"ICL and ECL were posi- tively correlated (r = 0.29; p = 0.015). In contrast, ICL and GCL (r = − 0.36; p = 0.002) as well as ECL and GCL (r = − 0.38; p = 0.002) were negatively correlated."

Related Claims¶

• Correlations among cognitive load types partially contradict theory-based assumptions of the additivity hypothesis — a broader claim this one bears on
• Prior knowledge correlates negatively with delayed ICL and ECL and positively with delayed GCL, consistent with meta-analytic findings — related
