Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pairwise comparison confirmed the Standard treatment's benefit over the other treatments, with two-week spacing showing nearly twice the improvement of not using the GoldList Notebook Method. → John Duplice 2022 q2 i? The article ranks the treatments by benefit from most to least beneficial as Standard, Mixed, Frontloaded, then Baseline. → John Duplice 2022 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Pairwise comparison of treatments using the lmer package with difflsmeans function, exclusive of the baseline comparison. The article reports "two weeks between review sessions throughout the study showed the greatest benefit" with nearly twice the baseline improvement.

"In a nutshell, two weeks between review sessions throughout the study showed the greatest benefit with nearly twice the improvement of not using the GoldList Notebook Method."

The article's Question 2 summary ranks the four treatments by post-test benefit for the 74 participants: "1) Standard 2) Mixed 3) Front loaded 4) Baseline", based on descriptive mean gains in Table 2.

"Benefit of treatments is shown here from most beneficial to least: 1) Standard 2) Mixed 3) Front loaded 4) Baseline."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Total retrieval spacing improved one-week vocabulary recall while relative schedules were not distinguished — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• The GoldList Notebook Method increases long-term retention of L2 idioms compared with a vocabulary lesson alone — related
• Only the Standard two-week-interval treatment showed a statistically significant improvement over the Baseline treatment — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Expanding and uniform spacing schedules of retrieval practice do not differ significantly in final retention (g = 0.034) — related
• Classroom implementation of the GoldList Method encountered pitfalls: forgotten notebooks, omitted dates, and unclear initial steps — related
• Number of retrieval exposures moderates the expanding-versus-uniform schedule benefit: more tests favour the expanding schedule — related
• Spaced Retrieval Improves Retention — related
