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 arithmetic-GMV relation in both regions remained significant when each language and cognitive measure, and all four together, were added as covariates. → Nurit Viesel-Nordmeyer and Jérôme Prado 2023

Mixed-model analyses adding reading, vocabulary, non-verbal IQ and verbal IQ covariates one at a time and jointly. The article reports "remained significant when adding as covariate reading skill" with the printed β, t and p values, and states the relation "remained significant when all four covariate measures were included in the model".
"Results indicated that the relation between arithmetic skill and GMV remained significant when adding as covariate reading skill (left IFG: β = 0.004, SE = 0.001, t = 3.169, p = 0.002; left MTG: β = 0.004, SE = 0.001, t = 3.604, p < 0.001)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In children and adolescents, arithmetic skill is positively related to gray matter volume in the left inferior frontal gyrus and left middle temporal gyrus — related
- Bayesian analyses provide evidence that arithmetic skill does not relate to gray matter volume in the left angular gyrus, intraparietal sulcus, or hippocampus — related
- Gray matter volume of widespread cortical regions significantly predicts children's subtraction skill in a cross-validated model — related
