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.
q3 i? In Experiment 2, the questioning-with-training group scored significantly higher on the posttest than the rereading control group, while the two questioning groups did not differ from each other. → Marli E.D.A. Andre and Thomas H. Anderson 1978

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Experiment 2: 81 juniors and seniors randomly assigned to questioning-with-training, untrained questioning, or read-reread; 3 x 3 x 2 ANOVA with repeated measures. Means were 14.79 (trained), 13.70 (untrained), 11.42 (reread). A Tukey post hoc showed a significant difference (p < .03) between questioning-with-training and rereading.
"An analysis of variance on the posttest scores revealed significant main effects for both treatment, F(2,62) = 3.81, p < .03 and verbal ability, F(2.62) = 27.01, p < .001."
