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.
q3 i? Most students saw the negative learning effects of images only when the images clearly revealed the answer (Experiment 1). → van den Broek 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Judgments of learning collected in the classroom experiments; students' insight into image effects was limited, with recognition occurring "only when the images clearly revealed the answer (Experiment 1)".
"The majority of students recognized the negative effects of images on their learning only when the images clearly revealed the answer (Experiment 1)"
