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? More learning occurred when a single demonstration was repeated than when an equivalent number of different demonstrations was given. → RESEARCH ABSTRACTS 163 1955

One of five interrelated experiments with naval recruits learning knot tying from instructional films; effectiveness measured by scoring knot-tying success after viewing under imposed conditions. Reports "More learning occurred when a single demonstration was repeated than when an equivalent number of different demonstrations was given."
