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? Turkish and German identity were neither independently nor interactively related to accuracy in the congruent and incongruent trials. → Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017
Evidence¶
Spiegler O and Leyendecker B 2017¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2
In the same moderation analyses of 225 children, identity measures showed no independent or interactive relation with congruent-trial (working memory) or incongruent-trial (inhibition) accuracy; Table 1 reports non-significant coefficients for both identity terms in those models.
"Children's Turkish and German identity were neither independently nor interactively related to performance in the congruent trials and incongruent trials ( Table 1 )."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Incongruent items in school-topic tasks are generally associated with longer response times and lower accuracy, patterns consistent with inhibitory control recruitment — related
- Turkish and German identity interactively predicted accuracy on mixed Dot Task trials requiring cognitive flexibility among immigrant-origin children
- Children's age did not moderate the link between bicultural identity and cognitive flexibility — related
- The identity interaction on mixed-trial accuracy held marginally when controlling for language abilities, which themselves did not predict performance — related
- Dot Task accuracy decreased from congruent to incongruent to mixed trials, with condition accuracies positively correlated — related
- The link between Turkish identity and mixed-trial accuracy was negative when German identity was low and marginally positive when German identity was high — related
