Looking at all the information we have there is no serious indication any one of the three understood their real problem (i.e. being stalled) which would have been the prerequisite for any corrctive action. Therefore, although we will never know for sure, it is pretty safe to assume it wouldn't have made much of a difference at that point.
That said there is a minimal chance that when seeing the feedback (behaviour of aircraft vs input) to control inputs made by himself, or better lack thereof, he might have had a better chance to identify they were in a developped stall.
But being where we are now that is a moot point.
