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? Basic Facts Addition, Basic Facts Subtraction, and Computational Fluency had high encoding complex factor loadings even after adding executive attention as a direct predictor. → Rhodes Katherine T. 2017

q2 · i? · associational · r3
In the Encoding Complex full measurement model of the N=1314 confirmatory factor analysis, the three Arabic numeral, small-problem-size outcomes retained high loadings on the seemingly modular encoding complex factor. The article describes this as evidence that something beyond executive attention and language predicts these outcomes.
"Three outcomes in particular (Basic Facts Addition, Basic Facts Subtraction, and Computational Fluency, all of which were formatted with Arabic numerals and involved relatively small problem sizes) had high encoding complex factor loadings despite the addition of executive attention as a predictor."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Third-graders' language-formatted, Arabic numeral-formatted, and estimation arithmetic outcomes are separable but highly related latent factors — related
- Executive attention is a significant direct predictor of all arithmetic outcomes across formats and problem demands, as predicted by Encoding Complex Theory — related
- A post-hoc hybrid model combining Triple Code's three format-specific arithmetic factors with Encoding Complex's direct executive attention and language predictors fits best (CFI=.97) — related
