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? The group x task interaction for boundary separation favored the null (BF01 = 5.56), indicating ADHD and Non-ADHD groups adjusted response caution equivalently. → Fosco 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Bayesian mixed ANOVA comparing 81 children with ADHD and 63 without. The analysis found "introducing intermittent stop trials affected the ADHD and Non-ADHD groups equivalently" (BF01 = 5.56), supporting intact self-regulation of speed-accuracy tradeoffs in ADHD.
"There was moderate evidence that groups were equivalent in boundary separation (BF01 = 3.26; d = 0.22), and that introducing intermittent stop trials affected the ADHD and Non-ADHD groups equivalently (group x task interaction: BF01 = 5.56)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Introducing intermittent stop trials does not change processing speed (drift rate) in children with or without ADHD — related
- Equivalent performance-adjustment effects hold when clinical control and neurotypical children are analyzed separately — related
- Non-decision time (encoding/motor speed) is unchanged when inhibitory demands are introduced — related
- Children adopt a more cautious response strategy (higher boundary separation) when intermittent stop trials are introduced — a broader claim this one bears on
- Go-trial response times are slower during the stop-signal task than the no-tone task, with no diagnostic group difference — related
- Reward does not alter the speed or variability of response execution in either stop signal task — related
