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 i3 The format effect on CRs was modulated by age-group: accuracy improved with age for auditory but not visual additions. → Van Rinsveld A 2015
Evidence¶
Van Rinsveld A 2015¶
Van Rinsveld A, Brunner M, Landerl K, Schiltz C and Ugen S (2015) The relation between language and arithmetic in bilinguals: insights from different stages of language acquisition. Front. Psychol. 6:265. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00265
q3 · i3 · causal · r2
The format × age-group interaction on complex-addition CRs (η² = 0.153) showed accuracy gains with age specifically for auditory-presented additions; this interaction remained significant after standardization.
"the format effect was modulated by age-group [format × age-group interaction: F(4, 185) = 8. 365; p < 0. 001; η 2 = 0. 153]. Decomposition of this interaction showed that participants became more accurate with age for auditory presente d additions"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Language effects on complex-addition accuracy are larger in auditory than visual presentation format — related
- Calculation complexity strongly modulates language, format and age-group effects on bilingual arithmetic — a broader claim this one bears on
- Complex additions are solved faster and more accurately in German than French across all five bilingual proficiency stages — related
- Simple additions are retrieved with equal accuracy in both languages from grade 10 onward, though still faster in German — related
