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.

q2 i? Cannabis-related declines in visuospatial processing tend to be lower than declines on other cognitive functions. → Goycolea 2020

Evidence¶

Goycolea 2020¶

Goycolea, Rodrigo; Castro Alonso, Juan; Dörr Álamos, Anneliese. (2020). Visuospatial Processing Decline Due to Cannabis Consumption in Nondependent High School Students. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-020-09564-8

q2 · i? · review · r?

The review's synthesis compares declines between visuospatial processing and other cognitive tasks, one of its three types of correlational studies, and concludes visuospatial effects "tend to be lower than on other cognitive functions".

"although the effects could disappear under abstinence and tend to be lower than on other cognitive functions"
