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.
q1 i? While the tabletop interface affords multiple forms of interference, it is the nature of the small-group collaboration processes that primarily influences the learning that results. → Gerry Stahl 2011

q1 · i? · theoretical · r1
The editorial summarizes the Price and Pontual Falcão analysis of interaction patterns in tabletop use in England, focusing on the productive role of interference, such as two users simultaneously moving tabletop objects in conflicting ways.
"While the tabletop interface affords multiple forms of interference, it is the nature of the small-group collaboration processes that primarily influences the learning that results."
