Subclaims¶

q2 i? First-block and second-block items showed comparable normative difficulty based on first cued-recall practice-trial performance in a prior experiment. → Badali 2023

Evidence¶

Badali 2023¶

Badali, S., Rawson, K.A. & Dunlosky, J. (2023). How do Students Regulate Their Use of Multiple Choice Practice Tests?. Educational Psychology Review 35, 43. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-023-09761-1

q2 · i? · causal · r?

Descriptive check of normative difficulty using first cued-recall practice-trial performance from a previous experiment: "Block 1: M = 28%, SD = 15; Block 2: M = 26%, SD = 11." These are descriptive percentages only; no inferential test or effect size is printed.

"Item difficulty was similar for the 12 items assigned to the first block and the 12 items assigned to the second block in the current study (Block 1: M = 28%, SD = 15; Block 2: M = 26%, SD = 11)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The dropout schedule was particularly effective for initially incorrect items, an advantage not attributable to initial ISI length and, the authors judge, unlikely to be due to item difficulty in Experiment 2 — related
