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? Students incorrectly judged images providing partial hints about the answer to be helpful (Experiments 2 and 3). → van den Broek 2021
