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.
q1 i? One special-issue article examines effects of worked examples on cognitive load in older learners. → Kirschner 2002

Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Working Memory — outcome: instruction changes it
