Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Study 1 showed a significant interaction format × visuospatial ability interaction on difficult recognition. → Birgit Brucker 2024 q3 i? LSD-adjusted comparisons indicated higher-visuospatial-ability learners achieved higher difficult-recognition values with camera movement than with no interaction (p = .034), while lower-ability learners showed no differences. → Birgit Brucker 2024 (2)

q3 · i2 · causal · r?

Study 1 ANCOVA interaction term testing the moderating role of visuospatial ability on difficult recognition reached significance, "F(2, 153) = 3.328" with "η2p = .042".

"Moreover, there was a significant interaction between interaction format and learners' visuospatial ability for difficult recognition performance (F(2, 153) = 3.328, MSE = 243.692, p = .038, η2p = .042)."

q3 · i? · causal · r?

LSD-adjusted pairwise comparisons in Study 1 following the significant interaction; the Bonferroni-adjusted post-hoc comparisons were not statistically significant (all ps > .102), so this pairwise pattern is a tendency under a less conservative adjustment.

"participants with higher visuospatial ability achieved higher values for difficult recognition when using the camera movement condition compared to the no interaction condition (p = .034), but not compared to the object movement condition (p = .120)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Spatial Ability — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
