Benjamin Keep, PhD, JD | Youtubers tested the generation effect. Did it work? @benjaminkeep | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Did Youtubers replicate the generation effect? At first, it might not seem like it, but let's take a closer look.
0:00 This video is a follow-up video
0:39 Was there an effect?
3:12 An attempt to visualize the effect
4:36 Sources of variation
5:13 Encoding strategies and non-native speakers
7:30 Why what I just did wasn't really legit
8:14 Variation among experimental designs
10:16 A common source of error
12:12 Oh no, it's an ad...

The first one is the meta-analysis that I took screenshots of for the video. The second one is more recent and delves deeper into the theories that explain the effect.
