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? Triads of kindergarten children working on a single computer with three mice and distinct screen areas, with different but interdependent roles, showed enhanced social skills as measured individually by standardized psychological tests. → Gerry Stahl 2013

Editorial summary of Gómez, Nussbaum, Weitz, Lopez, Mena and Torres's experiment in which kindergarten triads shared one computer with three mice and three screen areas. The editorial reports effectiveness for social skills without printing effect sizes.
"Experimental results show that this combination of indiv idual roles and group interaction — typical of transactivity— are effective in enhancing the social skills of the young children, as measured individually by standardized psychological tests."

Related Claims¶
- Sharing a projected display with multiple mice produced significant collaborative-learning gains for a whole classroom — related
- Type of interdependence shifts the nature of interactions: no-structure groups show the most cognitive interactions, role groups the most group processing, and reward groups the most off-task behavior — related
- Structuring positive interdependence (role, reward, or both) did not affect posttest achievement for undergraduate business majors in asynchronous online small group work — related
- In one experiment with undergraduate business majors in asynchronous online small groups, reward interdependence raised agreement that group work was beneficial and generated better ideas — related
- Linear path design in EERs tends to foster collaboration, while open-path structures enable positive social interdependence — related
