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? For most of the children (N = 23), the audiovisual score on the Common Phrases Test was significantly higher than the auditory-alone score. → Lorin Lachs 2001

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Live-voice Common Phrases Test administered under auditory-alone, visual-alone, and audiovisual conditions to 27 prelingually deafened children with cochlear implants. The article reports that "the audiovisual score was significantly higher than the auditory-alone score, t(26) = 5.48, p < 0.001" for most children. No effect size was printed.
"However, for most of the children (N = 23), the audiovisual score was significantly higher than the auditory-alone score, t(26) = 5.48, p < 0.001."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children with higher auditory-alone spoken word recognition scores show higher audiovisual gain, for easy-word measures but not the hardest tests — related
- Audiovisual gain correlates positively with speech intelligibility in children with cochlear implants — related
- No significant group-level difference between auditory-alone and visual-alone sentence recognition, with substantial individual modality preferences — related
- Audiovisual sentence performance approximates the simple sum of unimodal scores, with no super-additive integration for familiar sentences — related
- Children with cochlear implants had difficulty following spoken conversation in groups, with teachers reporting far more difficulty than parents
- Audiovisual attention decomposition via forward encoding and variance partitioning yields VAC, AAC, and SAC as surrogate indicators, not direct measures of attention — related
- Children in Oral Communication programs show higher speech intelligibility than children in Total Communication programs — related
