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? Sixth-grade students trained to use visualisation strategies scored significantly higher on a post-test of English spelling than students taught with traditional methods. → Nahari 2016

q3 · i? · causal · r1
A quasi-experimental study of 42 sixth-grade Saudi students compared an experimental group trained in visualisation strategies to a control group using traditional methods. The experimental group's post-test mean (21.52) exceeded the control group's (15.85), a statistically significant difference favouring visualisation training.
"There were statistically significant differences in the total average score of the post test between the experimental group and the control group favouring the experimental group."
