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 i0 Perceived cost did not differ between versions at T1 (d = 0.001) or across time points in the mixed ANOVA. → Lisi Wang 2023

q3 · i0 · causal · r3
Null result from the randomized two-version comparison at T1: means were identical at 3.01 in both conditions, 'Cohen's d = 0.001'. The mixed ANOVA also found no main effect or interaction of perceived cost across time points.
"The overcoming barriers version ( M = 3.01, SD = 1.20) did not reduce perceived cost relative to the traditional version ( M = 3.01, SD = 1.14), t (384) = 0.01, p = .50 (one-sided), Cohen's d = 0.001"
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
- An overcoming-barriers retrieval-practice intervention increases undergraduates' generation of general retrieval practice examples at both immediate and three-week follow-up — related
- The overcoming-barriers intervention raises self-efficacy for using retrieval practice immediately after the intervention but not at three-week follow-up — related
- Neither URM status nor first-generation status moderates the intervention effects on retrieval practice outcomes — related
- AI assistance reduces subjective mental effort across all tasks even when it does not reduce completion time, dissociating time and effort — related
