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? On problem P3, the logistic regression model was not significant, so initial prompt modality did not explain immediate success. → p3-null

For the third problem (returning the index of the last zero in an array), the omnibus likelihood-ratio test was non-significant (𝜒2 = 1.948, p= .378), so "initial prompting method did not explain immediate success" on this problem.
"InP3, the model was not significant, 𝜒 2 = 1.948,p= .378, indicating initial prompting method did not explain immediate success."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Unedited voice prompts have lower odds of first-attempt success than text prompts on two of three Prompt Problems — related
- Edited voice prompts did not significantly differ from text prompts in first-attempt success — related
- Immediate post-feedback improvement is near zero on average and does not differ significantly across feedback conditions — related
- Natural language AI feedback is associated with higher eventual success on initially incorrect programming problems — related
- Greater proportion of voice prompts used correlates moderately with greater stated preference for voice — related
- Immediate success rates are higher after injected bugs than after natural bugs — related
- Students overwhelmingly used text prompting, and prior modality choice did not predict subsequent choice among dual-mode users — related
