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.
q2 i? Rest intervals of 0, 2, 5, 10, or 30 s between one trial of skill A and skill B did not change performance at onset of skill B or micro-offline gains. → B. P. Johnson 2023

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Experiment 2 (n = 795, MTurk) randomized participants to five inter-skill rest interval groups (0–30 s) after one trial of skill A. The article reports that "varying inter-skill rest intervals did not modify performance at the onset of skill B nor micro-of fline gains".
"We found that varying inter-skill rest intervals did not modify performance at the onset of skill B nor micro-of fline gains from the end of skill A to the onset of skill B ( GenB0 /C0 Af )"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- A single 10-second practice trial of motor skill A produces micro-offline generalization, with performance at the onset of skill B exceeding the end of skill A — related
- Increasing initial practice of skill A from 1 to 12 trials does not change parsing-rule generalization to skill B in early learning — related
- Performance improvements during early motor skill learning occur predominantly during short rest periods (micro-offline gains), replicated in a large crowdsourced sample and in a laboratory study — a broader claim this one bears on
- Halving practice-period duration from 10 s to 5 s leaves micro-offline gains unchanged, arguing against recovery from motor fatigue — related
- Micro-offline gains are inconsistent with a dominant contribution of latent motor slowing, supporting consolidation as their driver — related
