Subclaims¶
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 i? Age did not interact with Predictability on hit rate, indicating prediction-led detection gains remained resistant to aging. → Nir Shalev 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r2
GLMM hit-rate analysis in the online dynamic search task (N = 300). The article reports that "Age did not interact with Predictability (p = 0.14)", and the three-way Age × Interval × Predictability interaction was also not significant. Equivalence was not tested; only the absence of a detected interaction is reported.
"Age did not interact with Predictability (p = 0.14) or Response-Target Interval (p = 0.67). The three-way interaction among all factors was also not significant (p = 0.058)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Predictable targets are detected at higher hit rates than unpredictable targets in dynamic visual search across adulthood — related
- Predictability benefits accuracy increase when responses occur close to the onset of the next target (Interval × Predictability interaction) — related
- Overall dynamic search performance declines with age, with accuracy decreasing and response times slowing — related
- Reaction times are faster for predictable targets, but the RT benefit of prediction diminishes with progressing age — related
- Memory-driven attentional guidance compensates for age-related declines in cognitive control and sensory processing — related
