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 i3 The utility value manipulation produced a large main effect on the utility value of distinguishing scale. → Roman Abel 2024

q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Manipulation check in Experiment 1 (N = 190): "participants learning poisonous and edible mushrooms (M = 13.06, SE = 0.26) were more sensitive to the risks of confusing the mushrooms than their counterparts learning mushrooms growing on the acidic and alkaline to neutral soil (M = 8.72, SE = 0.26)"; ηp2 = 0.43.
"We found a main effect of utility value, F(1, 186) = 141.41, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.43, indicating that participants learning poisonous and edible mushrooms (M = 13.06, SE = 0.26) were more sensitive to the risks of confusing the mushrooms than their counterparts learning mushrooms growing on the acidic and alkaline to neutral soil (M = 8.72, SE = 0.26)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Interest — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- In Experiment 1, metacognitive preference for interleaving showed main effects of utility value and differences-matter instruction without an interaction — related
- Learners invest more effort in tasks they perceive as interesting, personally important, or useful to their future goals. — a broader claim this one bears on
- Combining utility value of distinguishing with conditional knowledge fosters interleaving of confusable categories (Abel et al., 2024) — related
