Subclaims¶

q3 i? At T1, the overcoming barriers condition reported higher intention to implement general retrieval practice methods (d = 0.18, a small effect). → Lisi Wang 2023 q3 i? Across time points, only a main effect of time emerged for intended/reported use; there was no intervention main effect and no interaction. → Lisi Wang 2023 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Between-subjects t-test at T1 on intention to use general (non-flashcard) retrieval methods. The overcoming barriers condition was higher, 'Cohen's d = 0.18 (a small effect)'; no standardized effect size beyond d is printed.

"Participants in the overcoming barriers condition ( M = 3.60, SD = 0.81) self-reported higher intention to implement general methods of retrieval practice than those in the traditional condition ( M = 3.45, SD = 0.80), t (384) = 1.78, p = .04 (one-sided), Cohen's d = 0.18 (a small effect)"

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Mixed ANOVA on general retrieval practice use across both sessions: reported use at T2 was lower than intended use at T1, with 'no main effect of intervention version'. The intervention did not change actual reported use.

"The mixed ANOVA revealed only a statistically detectable main effect of time point, F (1, 278) = 19.93, p < .001, η 2 p = .067. Participants' reported use at T2 was lower than their intended use at T1. There was no main effect of intervention version, F (1, 278) = 2.37, p = .13, η 2 p = .008"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Both intervention versions raise declarative metacognitive knowledge about retrieval practice equally, and this knowledge declines over three weeks regardless of version — related
• An overcoming-barriers retrieval-practice intervention increases undergraduates' generation of general retrieval practice examples at both immediate and three-week follow-up — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention raises self-efficacy for using retrieval practice immediately after the intervention but not at three-week follow-up — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention does not reduce perceived time-and-effort cost of retrieval practice at either time point — related
