Subclaims¶

q2 i0 There was no difference in self-rated attentional control between tasks in Session 1, d = 0.090. → Philip A. Higham 2020 q2 i2 By Session 2, relearn students rated better attentional control than restudy students, d = -0.473. → Philip A. Higham 2020 (2) q2 i2 The attentional-control advantage for relearning increased in Session 3, d = -0.607. → Philip A. Higham 2020 (3)

Philip A. Higham, Bettina Zengel, Laura Bartlett, and Julie A. Hadwin (2020). The Benefits of Successive Relearning on Multiple Learning Outcomes. https://osf.io/nx4va/?view_only=049ee04aab4f420e9fa0091b3b69b9d0

q2 · i0 · causal · r2

Follow-up t-tests on the attentional-control interaction (higher VAS values indicate less control) found "no difference between students’ self-rated attentional control" between tasks in Session 1, d = 0.090.

"there was no difference between students’ self-rated attentional control in the relearn (M = 42.61, SD = 15.98) versus restudy condition (M = 41.63, SD = 16.43) in Session 1, t(205) = 1.29, p = .199, d = 0.090."

q2 · i2 · causal · r2

Follow-up t-tests on the interaction showed that "by Session 2, students in the relearn condition" rated better attentional control than restudy students, d = -0.473.

"by Session 2, students in the relearn condition (M = 37.92, SD = 15.46) rated that they had better attentional control (restudy: M = 42.60, SD = 16.67), t(205) = -6.79, p < .001, d = -0.473"

q2 · i2 · causal · r2

The attentional-control advantage for relearning "increased in Session 3" (relearn M = 36.21 vs restudy M = 42.37), d = -0.607.

"a difference which increased in Session 3 (relearn: M = 36.21, SD = 16.06; restudy: M = 42.37, SD = 17.20), t(205) = -8.72, p < .001, d = -0.607)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Attention — outcome: instruction changes it

• First-pass recall accuracy rises while trials-to-criterion and exposure duration fall across the three weekly relearning sessions — related
