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? A random-effects meta-analysis found no statistically significant difference in time to complete between XR-trained and dry lab-trained novices (Cohen's d = 0.65, p = 0.14). → Bickford Michael 2025

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis comparing XR training to dry lab training on time to complete. The result was "not statistically significant" with Cohen's d = 0.65 and a 95% CI of [-0.22, 1.52].

"A random-effects analysis of time to complete showed a moderate, not statistically significant increase in time to complete for participants trained in virtual reality compared to participants trained in a dry lab (Cohen’s d = 0.65, 95% CI [−0.22,1.52], p = 0.14)"
