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? · associational · r?
The article's own title and citation line, as printed on the publication record, state its focus: "Age Differences in Text Processing: The Role of Working Memory, Inhibition, and Processing Speed", published in The journals of gerontology. Series B in 2011. No design, sample, or statistics are printed in the supplied text, so no effect size is reported.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Working memory and processing speed, but not inhibition or non-alphanumeric naming speed, uniquely predict both word reading and reading comprehension in children ages 8 to 16 — related
- Inhibition/interference, working memory and processing speed correlate with adolescent academic achievement, while cognitive flexibility and social skills do not — related
- Working memory, processing speed, and verbal comprehension weaknesses are shared across reading and math deficits — related
- Full-scale IQ predicts reading comprehension more strongly than word reading, and working memory and processing speed remain significant predictors after IQ is controlled — related
