q3 i? Prior knowledge was the only significant predictor of comprehension (β = 9.19, p = 0.002) and transfer (β = 14.06, p < 0.001); motivation during learning was the only significant predictor of retention (β = 7.32, p = 0.026). → Sophia C. Weissgerber 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r2

In the replication's comprehension regression (N = 95), "The only significant predictor for comprehension was prior knowledge (β = 9.19, SE = 2.81, t(85) = 3.27, p = 0.002)". In the transfer model the only significant predictor was likewise prior knowledge (β = 14.06, SE = 3.11, t(83) = 4.52, p < 0.001), and in the retention model it was motivation during learning (β = 7.32, SE = 3.24, t(84) = 2.26, p = 0.026).

"The regression model was significant (F(9, 85) = 3.17, p = 0.002, R2 adj. = 0.17). The only significant predictor for comprehension was prior knowledge (β = 9.19, SE = 2.81, t(85) = 3.27, p = 0.002)."
