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 · i2 · causal · r2
Exploratory follow-up comparing Reminder Group no-reminder days (with mock reminder days mirrored in an odd-even split of the Control Group) using logistic mixed-effects models on log-file data. The article found Reminder Group students "significantly less likely to study vocabulary than students in the Control Group" (OR = 0.45, 95% CI [0.22, 0.95]).
"when looking at the days no reminders were presented, we found that students in the Reminder Group were significantly less likely to study vocabulary than students in the Control Group (b = −0.79, 95% CI [−1.53, −0.05], χ2(1) = 4.23, p = 0.037, OR = 0.45, 95%CI [0.22, 0.95])."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The likelihood of studying on reminder-free days decreased more rapidly over time for reminded students than for control students (non-significant exploratory trend) — related
- In two studies of children aged 10–12 and 9–13, students were more likely to study vocabulary on days they received a mobile-app study reminder than on days they did not — related
- Students who received study reminders did not study more frequently overall than control students who never received reminders — related
