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? During-interaction ratings showed participants liked the stories invented by iCub (mean 8.61 ± 1.38) and perceived them as coherent (mean 8.28 ± 1.27). → Maria Lombardi 2025

q3 · i? · design · r2
During-interaction ad-hoc questionnaire (two items, 1-10 scale) completed at the end of each of three storytelling trials per participant. The article reports descriptive means and standard deviations for likability and coherence; no inferential test is printed.
"Results indicate that the participants liked the stories invented by iCub (mean likability score 8.61±1.38) and perceived the stories as coherent (mean coherence score 8.28 ± 1.27)."
