Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
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.
q1 i? Even adults change their mode of performing a task constantly until they have completely learned it, so expert methods cannot be used in the earlier stage of learning. → E. A. Kirkpatrick 1910

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
The author's interpretive summary of existing learning research, citing penmanship, typewriting and telegraphy as areas where this 'has been clearly shown', plus tests of arithmetical prodigies. No specific studies or statistics are reported in the article itself.
"All research concerning learning processes shows that, even in the case of adults, the beginner in any line does not continue to work in the same way, but that his mode of performing the task is constantly changing, until he has completely learned it."

Related Claims¶
- Learning and teaching processes in networked learning are not static but have different dynamics at various stages of collaborative work — a broader claim this one bears on
- A medium feature's affordance does not guarantee its actual cognitive effects: LOGO instruction designed to enhance conditional reasoning may not do so — related
- Common language teaching methods such as oral drills, memorization, and fast-paced competitive activities disadvantage older learners — related
- Constantly high complexity lowers reported intrinsic cognitive load and metacognitive strategy use compared with gradually increasing complexity — related
