Subclaims¶

q2 i? Posterior contrasts showed credible reductions in the guess parameter under incongruent spacing (-0.058, 95% CrI [-0.093, -0.024]) and incongruent color (-0.082, 95% CrI [-0.121, -0.040]) relative to neutral conditions. → Siddhartha Pradhan 2026

q2 · i? · causal · r?

Multi BKT reanalysis with MCMC of an open-source perceptual cue intervention study (688 sixth-grade students who completed all tasks, 19,952 observations, nine conditions in a 3x3 spacing-by-color design). "the clearest and most consistent structure emerges inP(G)" with credible reductions under incongruent conditions; credible intervals excluding zero were interpreted as evidence of systematic change.

"In contrast, the clearest and most consistent structure emerges inP(G), where both spacing and color produce sizable and credible deviation from the neutral condition, particularly under incongruent conditions (spacing:-0.058[-0.093,-0.024]; color:-0.082[-0.121,-0.040])."
