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? The MANCOVA for arithmetic strengths showed no distinctions in geometric or fraction skills between DLD children with and without an arithmetic strength. → Kleemans 2025
Evidence¶
Kleemans 2025¶
Kleemans, T., Vissers, C. T. W. M., & Segers, E. (2025). Linguistic precursors of sixth-grade geometric and fraction skills in children with and without Developmental Language Disorder. Learning and Instruction, 95, 102019. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2024.102019
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Follow-up MANCOVA within the DLD group comparing children with versus without an arithmetic-strength profile; neither geometric skills nor fraction skills differed between the two subgroups, and no effect sizes were printed for these null tests.
"The MANCOVA for arithmetic skills, however, did not show distinctions in geometric and fraction skills between DLD children with and without a strength in arithmetic skills (geometric skills: F(1,41) = .34, p = .562; fraction skills: F(1,41) = 2.20, p = .145)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Geometric Reasoning — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- A strength in verbal reasoning partly compensates for geometry and fraction delays in children with DLD at the individual level — related
- Children with DLD show significantly more weaknesses and fewer strengths across linguistic and cognitive precursors than TD peers, except in verbal reasoning and arithmetic — related
- Phonological skills and naming speed indirectly predict sixth-grade geometric and fraction skills via arithmetic skills in both DLD and TD children — related
