Subclaims¶

q3 i2 An age × metacognitive regulation interaction (η²p = .08) showed metacognitive regulation decreased slightly for the lower age group and increased for older children. → Zachariou 2023

Evidence¶

Zachariou 2023¶

Zachariou, A., Bonneville-Roussy, A., Hargreaves, D., & Neokleous, R. (2023). Exploring the effects of a musical play intervention on young children's self-regulation and metacognition. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-023-09342-1

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Area-level repeated-measures ANCOVA of on-task metacognitive regulation; children were split into younger (n = 50) and older (n = 48) than average groups, showing "an interaction between age and metacognitive regulation, F(1, 93) = 8.27, p =.005, η2p = .08".

"There was no interaction between time and group. Results have shown an interaction between age and metacognitive regulation, F(1, 93) = 8.27, p =.005, η2p = .08"
