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.

q2 i? Screen-recording modeling examples proved ineffective, and redesigning them to show the model writing out steps made them effective. → Raaijmakers 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r2

The authors report, from supplementary Experiments A and B, that screen-recording examples in the Qualtrics environment were ineffective, while redesigned examples similar to Kostons et al.'s writing-out style were effective (Experiment C).

"Regrettably, this did not turn out to be a wise design choice, as the modeling examples turned out to be ineffective (see Experiment A and B in the supplementary materials); potentially because modeling examples are more effective at guiding and maintaining attention when information is drawn out by the model than when it is already present"
