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? Immediate corrective feedback after predictions produced greater curiosity than delayed feedback, consistent with the approach gradient. → Shin 2019

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Loewenstein and colleagues (1992, cited in Loewenstein 1994), a study giving corrective feedback either immediately after each prediction or after all guesses; immediate feedback intensified curiosity, aligning with the approach gradient.
"The partial resolution of curiosity through immediate feedback led to greater curiosity than delayed feedback."

- Providing feedback after initial multiple-choice tests cut lure intrusions on final short-answer tests roughly in half, with immediate and delayed feedback equally effective — related
