q3 i? The training significantly improved the SDST total score and vowel length spelling, and spelling of uninflected training words and uninflected untrained words (near transfer). → Holz 2023

Holz, H., Ninaus, M., Schwerter, J., Parrisius, C., Beuttler, B., Brandelik, K., & Meurers, D. (2023). A Digital Game-Based Training Improves Spelling in German Primary School Children – A Randomized Controlled Field Trial.

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Random-effects regression with controls (Table 3 Panel B) on the self-designed cloze spelling test administered at T2 and T3; significant effects on the total score (β = 3.96, p < .001), vowel length spelling (β = 4.22, p < .001), and the two quoted transfer categories.

"we found significant training effects on children’s spelling of uninflected training words (no transfer learning),𝛽 = 1.1, 𝑆𝐸 = 0.44,𝑡(187) = 2.49,𝑝 = .013, and spelling of uninflected untrained words (near transfer learning),𝛽 = 2.11, 𝑆𝐸 = 0.45,𝑡(187) = 4.75,𝑝<. 001."
