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 i3 Subset RPM scores (12 items that differentiated low- vs. high-PRESTO CI performers) correlated with Harvard Standard whole sentences (r = .40) and PRESTO whole sentences (r = .48), with correlations similar in magnitude to the 48-item version. → Mattingly Jameson K MD 2018

Sub-item analysis in the CI group: participants were split by median PRESTO whole-sentence score (21.67%), Fisher's Exact Tests identified 12 RPM items on which low performers scored significantly worse, and the resulting Subset RPM score correlated with both sentence measures, "positively correlated with the percent correct on Harvard Standard whole sentences" (r = .40) and PRESTO whole sentences (r = .48).
"These Subset RPM scores were positively correlated with the percent correct on Harvard Standard whole sentences (r = .40, p = .01) and PRESTO whole sentences (r = .48, p = .002)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The 12-item RPM subset similarly predicts degraded sentence recognition in normal-hearing controls, replicating the CI finding — related
- Nonverbal reasoning (RPM) scores are positively correlated with sentence recognition in post-lingually deafened adult cochlear implant users — a broader claim this one bears on
- Nonverbal reasoning scores also correlate with degraded (noise-vocoded) sentence recognition in age-matched normal-hearing listeners — related
- CI users answered fewer RPM items correctly than normal-hearing controls, though both groups attempted similar numbers of items — related
- A pilot study (N = 10) established timed-administration parameters, showing high internal consistency and minimal speededness for the SCS1 12-item subset — related
