q2 · i? · causal · r1

Self-reported perceived learning gain measured with a 7-item scale (possible values 7–28) after training; descriptive comparison only. The article reports the MR group at M = 18.80 versus RLE2 at M = 23.60.

"Perceived learning gains were mod- erate for MR participants and high for RLE participants."
