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? No significant associations were found between CTQ scale scores and CANTAB measures of executive functions, psychomotor speed, or sustained attention. → Majer M 2010

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multiple linear regression analysis in a pilot study of 47 healthy adults found no significant associations between CTQ scale scores and CANTAB measures of executive functions, with "no significant associations found between CTQ scale scores".
"As shown in Table 3, there were no significant associations found between CTQ scale scores and CANTAB measures of executive functions."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Adverse Experiences — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
