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 i2 The average sentence-to-sentence cosine of the scrambled text was significantly lower than that of the coherent text, confirming the coherence manipulation. → de Jonge 2015

de Jonge 2015¶
de Jonge, M., Tabbers, H. K., & Rikers, R. M. J. P. (2015). The Effect of Testing on the Retention of Coherent and Incoherent Text Material. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-015-9300-z
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Manipulation check comparing LSA sentence-to-sentence cosines of the scrambled versus coherent black hole text: "t(116)=4.16, p<.001, d=0.77", with means of 0.23 versus 0.39.
"The average sentence-to-sentence cosine ( http://lsa. colorado.edu/ ) of the scrambled text in Experiment 2 was significantly lower ( M=0. 23, SD =0.19) than the cosine of the text used in Experiment 1 (M=0.39, SD =0.22), t(116)=4.16, p<.001, d=0.77, indicating that the disruption of the text coherence had been successful."
