Subclaims¶

q2 i? The post-test advantage of the Timeline condition did not endure: retention-test scores did not differ between conditions (F(2, 78) = .43, p = .65). → Maaike E. Prangsma 2008 q2 i? Visual and Timeline conditions showed a significant post-test-to-retention decrease; the Text condition did not (p = .08). → Maaike E. Prangsma 2008 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Retention test administered 33–49 days after the post-test (M = 37) in the same study; the condition effect was non-significant, so the short-term Timeline advantage faded. Equivalence was not tested.

"We did not find significant differences between conditions for the retention test scores, which means there is no difference in long-term effects ( F(2, 78) = .43, p = .65)."

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Paired-samples t-tests per condition in the same experiment: Visual and Timeline scores dropped significantly after 33–49 days, while the Text condition's drop was not significant at p = .08.

"There was a significant decrease from post-test to retention test for both the Visual (t(31) = 4.34, p = .00 (two-tailed)) and the Timeline condition ( t(21) = 3.23, p = .00 (two-tailed)), but not for the Text condition ( t(29) = 1.79, p = .08 (two-tailed))."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it
