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? Transfer-of-learning of facts showed a trend toward more transfer in the expansive condition (36% vs. 13%; F(1,20) = 3.27, p = .09); the difference was not statistically significant. → Randi A. Engle 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r1
ANOVA on the transfer-of-learning measure in the tutoring experiment; only the trend statistic is printed, with no effect size reported. Descriptive means were 36% (expansive) versus 13% (bounded); "a trend in the direction of more transfer" was observed.
"there was a trend in the direction of more transfer by students in the expansive (36%) versus bounded (13%) conditions ( F(1,20) = 3.27, p = .09), with no other potential effects found"
