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 i? Contrary to H1, the SD amount did not affect extraneous cognitive load in Study 1 (b = −0.02, p = .790) or Study 2 (b = 0.03, p = .815). → Lukas Wesenberg 2026

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Regression on the Krieglstein et al. extraneous-load scale with Study 1's 191 students; the overall model was significant, F(5, 185) = 3.25, p =.008, R² = 0.08, but "the SD amount did not affect the extraneous load". Equivalence was not tested.

"Contrary to H1, the SD amount did not affect the extraneous load, b = −0.02, p =.790"
