Does Training in Table Creation Enhance Table Interpretation? A Quasi-Experimental Study With Follow-Up

This article presents results of a quasi-experimental study with longitudinal follow-up that tested the effectiveness of a new technique for enhancing student interpretation of American Psychological Association-formatted tables. Undergraduate students exposed to the technique performed better than students not exposed on measures of table interpretation. Effect sizes between groups were large, even after a 3-month follow-up assessment. An active learning experience in which students learn how to create tables can enhance student’s ability to interpret tables presented in empirical psychological literature.
