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? There were no significant effects of immersion (VR vs. PC) or interactivity (congruent vs. incidental) on any of the transfer measures. → Klingenberg 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r3
In the 2x2 experiment, the main outcome was a real-life transfer test in which students performed the serial dilution with concrete objects, rated on 22 items by two independent raters. The article reports "no significant effects of immersion or interactivity on any of the transfer measures"; no effect sizes are printed, so equivalence was not tested.
"However, there were no significant effects of immersion or interactivity on any of the transfer measures."
