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.
q2 i? Active nonverbal cueing (12.20% of excerpts) worked without verbal support mainly with proficient novices (e.g. surgical trainees); gaze overlays shortened time to fixate the target nodule, and novices sometimes missed subtle nonverbal messages. → Christine C.

Qualitative synthesis of the 20 active nonverbal cueing excerpts, drawing on medical-domain articles and Leff et al. (2015), where trainee fixations under gaze guidance were more localised to the nodule and GL was significantly shorter in Collaborative Gaze Control mode. Ong et al. document a trainee missing an expert's subtle independence message.
"It appears that some novice proficiency is required for active nonverbal cues, without verbal support, to be effective."

Learner Variables¶
- Prior Knowledge — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
