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? On questions with greater similarity to a given relevance instruction, participants who received that instruction recalled more than participants in the other conditions answered the same questions. → Matthew T. McCrudden 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Between-condition comparison from the same randomized study (n = 52): the abstract reports "participants in the experimental conditions did better on questions that had greater similarity to relevance instructions than the participants in the other conditions on those same questions".
"participants in the experimental conditions did better on questions that had greater similarity to relevance instructions than the participants in the other conditions on those same questions"
Discussion¶

- Control participants recalled equal amounts of information for both question types — related
- Pre-reading relevance instructions produce better cued recall for test questions more similar to the instructions than for questions less similar to them — related
