Subclaims¶

q2 i? The structured CAI group showed no significant difference from recall to retention, indicating maintained memory. → Caple 1996 q2 i? The unstructured CAI group showed a significant difference from recall to retention, indicating memory did not hold. → Caple 1996 (2)

Evidence¶

Caple 1996¶

Caple, Carlous. (1996). The Effects of Spaced Practice and Spaced Review on Recall and Retention Using Computer Assisted Instruction. Doctoral Dissertation, North Carolina State University. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED427772

q2 · i? · causal · r?

A t-test of dependent means examined within-group change from recall to retention for the structured CAI group. The dissertation reports "no significant difference from recall to retention"; equivalence was not tested and no effect size is printed.

"Findings for within groups data, yielded no significant difference from recall to retention for group I, which received the structured CAI program as treatment. This finding indicates that subjects maintained a level of memory due to the structured CAI program."

Caple 1996 (2)¶

Caple, Carlous. (1996). The Effects of Spaced Practice and Spaced Review on Recall and Retention Using Computer Assisted Instruction. Doctoral Dissertation, North Carolina State University. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED427772

q2 · i? · causal · r?

A t-test of dependent means examined within-group change from recall to retention for the unstructured CAI group. The dissertation reports "a significant difference from recall to retention", which the author interprets as subjects not maintaining memory; no effect size is printed.

"Findings for within groups, yielded a significant difference from recall to retention for group II, which received the unstructured CAI program as treatment. This finding indicates that subjects did not maintain a level of memory from recall to retention with the unstructured CAI program"
