Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Participants who received multimedia feedback had higher overall practice accuracy than those who received text-only feedback. → Gök 2025 q3 i? The feedback modality by scenario interaction was not significant, so multimedia feedback did not produce unique iterative changes across the practice phase. → Gök 2025

Gök 2025¶

Gök, S., Zhang, T., Goldstone, R. L., & Fyfe, E. R. (2025). Multimedia Effects in Initial Instruction and Feedback on Problem Solving. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000943

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

A 3x2x2 mixed ANCOVA on scenario-by-scenario practice accuracy with pretest covariate showed a feedback modality main effect, F (1, 124) = 4.48, p = .036, η p² = .04, plus a scenario main effect (η p² = .08) as performance declined with complexity.

"there was a main effect of feedback modality, F (1, 124) = 4.48, p = .036, η p² = .04, as participants who received multimedia feedback had higher overall accuracy than those who received text-only feedback."
