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.
q2 i? DeLeeuw and Mayer (2008) found that extraneous, essential, and generative processing are tapped by different assessment instruments, partially validating the triarchic theory. → Richard E. Mayer 2010

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
Mayer cites the DeLeeuw and Mayer (2008) study as partial validation of the triarchic theory, reporting that the three kinds of processing "are tapped by different assessment instruments". No effect sizes are printed in this commentary.
"has been at least partially validated in a study by DeLeeuw and Mayer (2008) showing that extraneous, essential, and generative processing are tapped by different assessment instruments"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Motivational processes are proposed to be instrumental for essential as well as generative processing — related
- Correlations among cognitive load types partially contradict theory-based assumptions of the additivity hypothesis — related
- Prior knowledge and worked-example type (full vs completion) interact significantly on self-reported germane cognitive load, but not on intrinsic or extraneous load — related
