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? The bilingually educated group showed a decreased global precedence effect relative to the regular group, which the authors interpret as a bias towards a more focused scope of attention. → I.K. Christoffels 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r?

Same two-group comparison of Dutch high-school students on the global–local switching paradigm: the bilingually educated group showed "a decreased global precedence effect than the regular group". The abstract prints no effect size or test statistic for this contrast.

"As predicted, the bilingually educated group showed smaller switching costs (i.e., greater cognitive flexibility) and a decreased global precedence effect than the regular group."
