q3 · i? · causal · r1

Over five consecutive weekly tests, the experimental group's performance improved markedly: 95% memorised five or more words by week five, while the control group remained scattered across lower performance categories, with only 28.6% reaching six words.

"The fifth week of the experiment showed that 95% of the students in the experimental group demonstrated the ability to memorise five words or more using visual strategies."
