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? Skilled typists slowed after real errors that were corrected by false feedback and did not slow after inserted errors, while accepting responsibility for errors they did not make. → Frith Chris D 2012

q2 · i? · causal · r?
A study of skilled typists (Logan & Crump, as reviewed here) in which experimenters supplied false visual feedback by correcting some errors and inserting others. The review reports a dissociation between automatic post-error slowing driven by real errors and explicit awareness, since typists accepted responsibility for inserted errors.
"The typists slowed down after corrected errors and did not slow down after inserted errors, showing that this outcome of self-monitoring was driven by real errors and was not affected by the false feedback."
