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 i1 Participants reading for study showed longer reading times than those reading for comprehension on target sentences (d = .23) and spill-over sentences (d = .24). → Moort 2022

q3 · i1 · causal · r2
In a self-paced sentence-by-sentence reading experiment with 120 Dutch undergraduates (114 analyzed after exclusions), mixed-effects linear regression on log-transformed reading times showed that "participants that read for study showed longer reading times than participants that read for comprehension" on both target and spill-over sentences, with d = .23 and d = .24 respectively.
"participants that read for study showed longer reading times than participants that read for comprehension, both on target (Mstudy = 2723 ms, SEstudy = 28; Mcomp = 2488 ms, SEcomp = 25, b = .10, SE = .04, t = 2.28, p = .023 d = .23) and spill-over sentences"
