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? 15- to 16-year-olds adapted referential expressions to assumed addressee knowledge significantly more than 11- to 12-year-olds (AGE GROUP significant, p < 0.001). → Arvidsson C. 2022
q3 i? Older adolescents described unknown-to-addressee referents more often (93% vs 83%) and described known referents less often (16% vs 30%). → Arvidsson C. 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Online production task with 58 adolescents from two Stockholm-area schools, 29 per age group; AD score compared between age groups. Older group showed "in 93% versus 83% of unknown condition trials" describing, and less redundant describing in the known condition.
"Compared to their younger peers, 15- to 16-year-olds described referents they assumed to be unknown to addressees more often (in 93% versus 83% of unknown condition trials), and described referents they assumed to be known to their addressees less often (in 16% versus 30% of known condition trials)."

- Executive function (WCST performance) does not explain age-related differences in world knowledge-based audience design — related
- Cool executive function measures show ascending age-related growth across adolescence, with a growth spurt around age 14–15 — related
