Subclaims¶

q2 i? Inhibition ability significantly predicted posttest reasoning from irrelevant events in the experimental condition (F = 1.99, p < 0.001) but showed no effect in the control condition (F = 0.00, p = 0.429). → Hanna Grimm · Peter A. Edelsbrunner · Kornelia Möller 2023

q2 · i? · causal · r2

General additive model results (Table 4) for the inhibition smooth term; the paired control-condition row reads "Inhibition (control condition) 0.00 0.00 0.429", so inhibition related to posttest irrelevant-evidence reasoning only when scaffolds were present. Inhibition was measured by a fruit-stroop task with reaction time reverse-coded.

"Inhibition (experimental condition) 0.95 1.99 < 0.001"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• General Cognitive Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
