q4 i? Interleaving effects were larger in pure university student samples compared to nonstudent samples, even when material characteristics and material type were statistically controlled. → Brunmair 2019

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression moderator test (Model 3, Table 3) on k = 238 effect sizes; the student vs. nonstudent contrast remained significant when material characteristics and type of learning material were controlled, and was also significant in the sensitivity analyses (Model 4). No effect size is printed for this contrast.
