q2 · i? · causal · r1

In the film experiment, half the groups were told they would have a test after the film, intended to raise motivation. The review reports that "Warning that a test would follow did not produce significantly different learning." No effect size is printed; equivalence was not tested.

"Warning that a test would follow did not produce significantly different learning."
