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? In the same 50-girl study, average learning time was higher for perfect reproduction (531.2 sec) than imperfect reproduction (490.1 sec), while average recall time was lower for perfect (122.7 sec) than imperfect (219.6 sec) reproduction. → Myers 1913

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Descriptive comparison within the 50-girl study: 27 cases had one to 6 points wrong (average 3 points in omissions and displacement). The article reports "the learning time for perfect repro- duction was higher, as a rule" and perfect recall time decidedly less; no significance test is reported.

"These figures indicate that the learning time for perfect repro- duction was higher, as a rule, than for imperfect reproduction while the- time for perfect recall was decidedly less than for imperfect recall."
