q2 · i? · causal · r?

The article reports its prior fractions experiment: "only the understanding-perception condition outperformed the control condition." No effect size is printed.

"Results showed that only the understanding-perception condition outperformed the control condition. By contrast, the understanding-condition and the perception-condition did not outperform the control condition."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
