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.
q2 i? Across multiple reviewed studies, planners showed greater fluency than non-planners, including faster speaking speed and more syllables with fewer pauses. → Yingli Wang 2008

q2 · i? · review · r2
Narrative review section 5.1.2 attributing findings to the cited studies: planners had "greater fluency than non- planners"; Ortega (1999) found faster speaking speed and Wendel found more syllables and fewer pauses. No effect sizes are printed.
"Foster (1996), Fost er and Skehan (1996), and Skehan and Foster (1997) reported that planners had greater fluency than non- planners."
