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? The number of overall attention-getting devices did not vary by scenario type, though device types varied, with head movements most common in –PD, –SD scenarios. → Catherine Rockey 2020

q2 · i? · design · r2
Comparison of device totals across the four scenario types (+PD/+SD, –PD/+SD, +PD/–SD, –PD/–SD) in Table 5, which ranged from 46 to 52 tokens. Head movements were most common in the –PD, –SD scenarios (12 tokens).
"While the type of scenario did not appear to affect the number of overall attention-getting devices, the types of devices varied."
