Subclaims¶

q3 i? The training effect on spelling of inflected training words (far transfer) was marginal and not significant, and not robust across estimation panels. → Holz 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Random-effects regression with controls (Table 3 Panel B) on the SDST far-transfer category (inflected training words, e.g. rennt from trained base form rennen); the effect was "marginal though not significant" (p = .072) and non-significant in Panels A and C.

"Finally, we found a marginal though not significant training effect on children’s spelling of inflected training words (far transfer learning),𝛽 = 0.86,𝑆𝐸 = 0.48,𝑡(187) = 1 .81,𝑝 = .072, whereas this effect is neither significant in Panel A nor in Panel C, which indicates no robustness and caution in interpretation."
