Effectiveness of Prewriting Strategies as a Function of Task Demands
Abstract
College students wrote a short informative essay calling for analytical thinking. The students either began drafting without any prewriting time (control), first prepared a hierarchical written outline (outline), or first prepared a visual network of ideas and their relations (cluster). Task demands were also varied. The writing task either demanded generation and organization of ideas (topic), demanded organization but provided suggested ideas (topic and ideas), or provided both ideas and a possible organizational scheme (topic, ideas, and organization)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
