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.
q3 i? After adjusting for pretest differences, there was no effect for group on the immediate oral imitation posttest, and no group difference on the immediate grammaticality judgment posttest. → Rod Ellis 2006

q3 · i? · causal · r1
ANCOVA on the oral imitation test immediate posttest for the three groups (n = 34). "no effect for group on the immediate posttest, F (2, 34) = 0.961, p = .394"; equivalence was not tested. The GJT immediate posttest was likewise nonsignificant (F = 0.714, p = .498).
"there is no effect for group on the immediate posttest, F (2, 34) = 0.961, p = .394; however, there is on the delayed posttest"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Explicit metalinguistic feedback outperforms recasts on the delayed oral imitation posttest measuring implicit knowledge — related
- Metalinguistic feedback produced system learning, generalizing to verbs not included in the treatment — related
- Feedback effects on ungrammatical GJT items were weak because learners already possessed the relevant explicit knowledge — related
- Explicit metalinguistic feedback outperforms recasts on the delayed grammaticality judgment posttest — related
- Procedural memory predicts immediate regular-past-tense UGJT posttest scores, controlling for pretest, only under metalinguistic prompts — related
- Learners in all three corrective-feedback groups improve irregular past tense performance on both GJT and EIT from pretest to posttests, a within-group gain that does not separate the feedback types — related
- Declarative memory predicts immediate UGJT posttest gains for irregular past tense only under recasts — related
- Pretest scores significantly predict posttest scores across CF types and outcome measures — related
- Metalinguistic feedback outperforms recasts on the immediate post-test, but the two do not differ significantly on the delayed post-test — reports the opposite
