Subclaims¶

q3 i? In exploratory moderation analyses, neither underrepresented minority status nor generation status moderated the effects of intervention version on the Hypothesis 1-4 outcomes. → Lisi Wang 2023

Evidence¶

Lisi Wang 2023¶

Lisi Wang, Katherine Muenks, Veronica X. Yan. (2023). Interventions to Promote Retrieval Practice: Strategy Knowledge Predicts Intent, but Perceived Cost Predicts Usage. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000813

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Exploratory moderation analyses reported in Results: for each hypothesis, mixed ANOVAs added URM status or generation status as a third factor among the first-session participants. The article reports no moderation by either demographic characteristic; no effect sizes are printed for these tests.

"Neither URM status nor generation status moderated the effects of intervention version, hence we do not explore them any further."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Race and Ethnicity — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
• Socioeconomic Status — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

• Utility-value interventions improve grades, with the largest gains for first-generation and underrepresented minority students, and can improve STEM persistence years later — related
• Background variables (need for cognition, test anxiety, mindset, puzzle experience) showed no consistent moderating patterns across the three experiments — related
• Sample characteristics (immigrant/minority status, L2 status, age) show no significant moderator effects, and several program and delivery features are also nonsignificant — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention does not reduce perceived time-and-effort cost of retrieval practice at either time point — related
