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? Attention affected linguistic P1 latency differently by age group: 10-year-olds showed marginally shorter unattended than attended latency, while older groups showed the reverse pattern. → Karns Christina M. 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r2
In the dichotic story ERP study, the Age x Attention interaction on linguistic P1 latency was significant, "F(3,71) = 3.67, p = .016": 10-year-olds showed a 9 ms marginally shorter unattended latency, whereas 13-year-olds, 16-year-olds, and adults showed marginally longer unattended latencies (−7, −2, −3 ms).
"attention affected the P1 latency for linguistic probes differently by age group (Age x Attention interaction: F(3,71) = 3.67, p = .016). While 10-year-olds had a marginally shorter latency for unattended probes relative to attended (9 ms), 13-year-olds, 16-year-olds, and adults had a marginally longer latency for unattended probes relative to attended (−7 ms, −2 ms, and −3 ms, respectively)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Linguistic-probe late-N1 latency decreases with age, unlike the stable early-N1 latency for nonlinguistic probes — related
- Post-hoc finding: P1 latency was increased for attended versus unattended unilateral stimuli, selectively over the ipsilateral ROI — related
- P1 latency for nonlinguistic auditory probes decreases with age from childhood through adulthood — related
- Attention robustly increases linguistic-probe late-N1 amplitude from age 10 through adulthood — related
