Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Participants in the overcoming barriers condition generated more general retrieval practice examples than those in the traditional condition at T1 (d = 0.53) and T2 (d = 0.48). → Lisi Wang 2023 q3 i2 Across both time points, the overcoming barriers condition generated more general examples (main effect of intervention, η 2 p = .077), and examples decreased from T1 to T2 (η 2 p = .159) with no interaction. → Lisi Wang 2023 (2)

q3 · i2 · causal · r3

Randomized comparison of two intervention versions among 386 undergraduates, tested with between-subjects t-test at T1. The overcoming barriers group generated more general examples, 'Cohen's d = 0.53' (a medium effect); at T2 d = 0.48.

"Participants in the overcoming barriers condition ( M = 1.72, SD = 1.17) generated more general retrieval practice examples compared to those in the traditional condition ( M = 1.14, SD = 1.02), t (370) = 5.13, p < .001 (one-sided), Cohen's d = 0.53"

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Mixed 2 (version) × 2 (time) ANOVA on the 280 participants completing both sessions showed a main effect of version with printed effect size 'η 2 p = .077' (medium range), and a main effect of time with 'η 2 p = .159', with no version × time interaction.

"participants in the overcoming barriers condition generated more general retrieval practice examples than those in the traditional condition, F (1, 268) = 22.51, p < .001, η 2 p = .077; and the number of general examples decreased from T1 to T2, F (1, 268) = 50.62, p < .001, η 2 p = .159"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Both intervention versions raise declarative metacognitive knowledge about retrieval practice equally, and this knowledge declines over three weeks regardless of version — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention increases intention to use general retrieval practice methods immediately post-intervention but has no effect on reported use three weeks later — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention raises self-efficacy for using retrieval practice immediately after the intervention but not at three-week follow-up — related
• The overcoming-barriers intervention does not reduce perceived time-and-effort cost of retrieval practice at either time point — related
