Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Spaced practice yielded better performance than massed practice (d = .66) and control (d = .39); massed and control did not differ significantly. → Kang 2023

q3 i? Practice condition had a significant omnibus effect on final-assessment knowledge performance (partial η2 = .062). → Kang 2023

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Pairwise comparisons from the same field experiment's final assessment (mean retention interval 141–142 days). Spaced beat massed with "d = .66" and control with "d = .39"; massed versus control was not significant (p = .197).

"Pairwise comparisons revealed that spaced practice yielded better performance than massed practice (t[107] = 3.453, p = .001, and d = .66) and the control group (t[121] = 2.124, p = .036, and d = .39), while the massed practice and control groups did not differ significantly from each other (t[116] = 1.299 and p = .197)."
