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.
q2 i? Pre-experimental knowledge correlated with process, passive, active and visual knowledge, and education level with process and active knowledge; gender, age, computer experience and colour vision showed no effects. → Guttormsen Schär 2007

Guttormsen Schär 2007¶
Guttormsen Schär, S., & Zimmermann, P. G. (2007). Investigating Means to Reduce Cognitive Load from Animations: Applying Differentiated Measures of Knowledge Representation. Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 40(1), 64–78. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ826063 doi:10.1080/15391523.2007.10782497
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Secondary regression analyses of control variables in the experiment found relations of education level and pre-experimental knowledge with several knowledge categories as printed; no effect sizes are reported, only p-values.
"We found a relation between education level- and process- and active knowledge (linear regression, p=0.042 and p=0.016, respectively), and pre-experimental knowledge and process-, passive-, active- and visual knowledge (p=0.011, 0.021, 0.014 and 0.043 respectively)."
