Subclaims¶

q3 i3 The number of drops decreased significantly from Block 1 to Retention (d = 0.870). → Yinqi Huang 2026 q3 i2 Collisions and collision duration decreased significantly from Block 1 to Retention. → Yinqi Huang 2026 (2)

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Paired comparison of drop frequency across teleoperation training, showing "a robust reduction in the number of drops" with "d = 0.870" and a "− 50.4%" change to Retention.

"The paired comparison between Block 1 and Retention showed a robust reduction in the number of drops, pairedt test: t(23) = 4.260, p < 0.001; Cohen ’s d = 0.870; mean percentage change (Retention vs. Block 1) = − 50.4%."

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Paired comparison reported for ring-rail collisions in the same training study (the sentence labels the outcome as drops), with "d = 0.560" and a "− 14.8%" change to Retention.

"The paired comparison between Block 1 and Retention showed a reduction in the number of drops, paired t test: t(23) = 2.740, p = 0.012; Cohen ’s d = 0.560; mean percentage change (Retention vs. Block 1) = − 14.8%."
