Subclaims¶

q3 i0 Open-ended self-derivation of science-curriculum facts did not differ from general-knowledge facts across experiments (d = .03), demonstrating the process generalizes to academic content. → Bauer 2020

Evidence¶

Bauer 2020¶

Bauer, P. J., Esposito, A. G., & Daly, J. J. (2020). Self-derivation through memory integration: A model for accumulation of semantic knowledge. Learning and Instruction. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2019.101271

q3 · i0 · causal · r1

Between-experiment comparison of 96 (Experiment 1, general knowledge) and 103 (Experiment 2, science curriculum) second-graders. "levels of open-ended self-derivation of the integration facts and open-ended recall of the stem facts did not differ between the experiments" (t(189) = 0.22, p = .83, d = .03).

"levels of open-ended self-derivation of the integration facts and open-ended recall of the stem facts did not differ between the experiments, even though each used entirely different stimuli, t(189) = 0.22, p = .83, d = .03"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Second-grade children self-derive new factual knowledge through integration of separate yet related learning episodes in classroom settings — a broader claim this one bears on
• Children retain self-derived knowledge over a one-week delay in classroom settings, with performance increasing from Session 1 to Session 2 — related
• Self-derivation performance is positively correlated with stem-fact memory and predicts retention of self-derived knowledge one week later — related
• Surface-feature similarity of passage pairs does not affect self-derivation performance or patterns of episode-detail endorsement — related
