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.
q2 i? Teacher-reported ADHD symptoms did not significantly predict reading (p=.36) or math (p=.12) when added to the regression models. → Carames 2022
Evidence¶
Carames 2022¶
Carames, C. N., Irwin, L. N., & Kofler, M. J. (2022). Is There a Relation Between Visual-Motor Integration and Academic Achievement in School-Aged Children with and without ADHD? Child Neuropsychology, 28(2), 224–243. https://doi.org/10.1080/09297049.2021.1967913
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Null finding from Step 3 of the hierarchical regressions in the sample of 39 children: teacher-rated ADHD symptoms did not significantly predict reading achievement (p = .36); the math model similarly showed no significant prediction (p = .12). Equivalence was not tested.
"Interestingly, teacher-reported ADHD symptoms did not significantly predict reading achievement (p = .36) when added to the model (Step 3)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children with ADHD exhibit significantly lower visual-motor integration and math and written language achievement than Non-ADHD peers, but intact visual perception and reading — related
- Better visual perception and motor coordination uniquely predict better reading skills in school-aged children with and without ADHD, controlling for IQ and ADHD symptoms — related
- Motor coordination uniquely predicts written language achievement, and ADHD symptom severity negatively predicts written language, in children with and without ADHD — related
- The integration of visual perception and motor coordination is uniquely associated with math skills but not with reading or written language — related
- Visual-motor integration, visual perception, and motor coordination each independently predict math achievement in school-aged children with and without ADHD — related
