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.

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Category-level synthesis across the review's transfer categories identifies the contexts where transfer of test-enhanced learning is "weakest to rearranged stimulus-response items, to untested materials seen during initial study, and to problems involving worked examples."
"it is weakest to rearranged stimulus-response items, to untested materials seen during initial study, and to problems involving worked examples."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Effects of pre-instruction testing on untested but studied materials are highly inconsistent across experiments and materials — related
- Transfer of test-enhanced learning is greatest across test formats, to application and inference questions, to medical diagnosis problems, and to mediator and related word cues — related
- Retrieval Practice Improves Transfer — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
