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? Children above the median on LNT Easy, MLNT Easy, and MLNT Hard tests showed significantly higher Ra scores than children below the median; splits on LNT Hard and PB-K showed no significant difference. → Lorin Lachs 2001

Lorin Lachs 2001¶
Lorin Lachs, David B. Pisoni, and Karen Iler Kirk. (2001). Use of Audiovisual Information in Speech Perception by Prelingually Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants. Ear Hear. 2001 June ; 22(3): 236–251. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/
q3 · i? · causal · r1
One-tailed t-tests for independent samples compared Ra scores of high versus low groups formed by median splits on five auditory-alone word recognition measures. The article reports significant differences for "the LNT Easy test, t(15) = 3.36, p = 0.002" and two other measures. No effect sizes were printed.
"Significant differences were found in this analysis when the children were split by median scores on the LNT Easy test, t(15) = 3.36, p = 0.002, the MLNT Easy test, t(13) = 2.62, p = 0.01, and the MLNT Hard test, t(9) = 3.927, p = 0.002."
