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 i3 In transfer, only the main effect for Choice on absolute difference was significant (F(1,42) = 19.29, p< 0.001, ηp2 = 0.31): self-controlled groups (M = 14.68) were more accurate than Yoked groups (M = 23.67). → Carter 2014
q3 i3 A separate one-way ANOVA across the three self-controlled groups (F(2,21) = 5.24, p= 0.014, ηp2 = 0.33) found Self-After (M = 12.19) and Self-Both (M = 12.73) did not differ but both were more accurate than Self-Before (M = 19.12). → Carter 2014 (2)

Carter, M. J., Carlsen, A. N., & Ste-Marie, D. M. (2014). Self-controlled feedback is effective if it is based on the learner’s performance: a replication and extension of Chiviacowsky and Wulf (2005). Frontiers in Psychology, 5, 1325. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01325
q3 · i3 · causal · r1
Laboratory experiment in which university volunteers learned a slider-positioning task under six knowledge-of-results (KR) conditions; transfer AD was analysed with a 2 × 3 ANOVA. "only the main effect for Choice was significant, F(1,42) = 19.29, p< 0.001, ηp2 = 0.31", with self-controlled groups more accurate than Yoked groups.
"In transfer, only the main effect for Choice was significant, F(1,42) = 19.29, p< 0.001, ηp2 = 0.31, with post hoc analysis indicating the self-controlled groups (M = 14.68, SE = 1.14) were significantly more accurate than the Yoked groups (M = 23.67, SE = 1.76)."

q3 · i3 · causal · r1
Follow-up one-way ANOVA restricted to the three self-controlled groups of the same experiment: "a significant main effect, F(2,21) = 5.24, p= 0.014, ηp2 = 0.33", with Self-After and Self-Both both more accurate than Self-Before.
"The analysis revealed a significant main effect, F(2,21) = 5.24, p= 0.014, ηp2 = 0.33, where post hoc tests revealed no differences between the Self-After (M = 12.19, SE = 1.86) and Self-Both (M = 12.73, SE = 1.79) groups, but both were significantly more accurate than the Self-Before group (M = 19.12, SE, 1.34)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Self Controlled Kr Decided After Trial Improves Error Estimation Accuracy
- During motor practice with knowledge of results, all groups reduced absolute error across blocks, and groups whose KR decision fell after the trial were more accurate during practice than groups whose decision fell before it, independent of choice. — related
- Learners who could decide after a trial whether to receive knowledge of results (Self-After, Self-Both) showed less error on a 24-h transfer test to a new target distance than Self-Before learners and their yoked counterparts. — related
- Learners who could decide after a trial whether to receive knowledge of results (Self-After, Self-Both) were more accurate on a 24-h motor retention test than learners who decided before the trial (Self-Before) and than their yoked counterparts. — related
- Having control over the knowledge-of-results decision only before a motor trial (Self-Before) produced no statistically significant retention or transfer benefit over a yoked group receiving the same KR schedule. — related
- Allowing learners to request knowledge of results before a trial and then revise the choice after it (Self-Both) did not produce learning beyond deciding only after the trial (Self-After), which the authors take as no support for an additive motivational-plus-informational effect. — related
