q2 i? Of 41 studies examining duration, 36 found that varying lengths of exposure produced differential outcomes, with continued exposure affecting outcomes to a greater extent than intermittent or no exposure. → Molly Grant 2023

q2 · i? · review · r3

Theme one of the reflexive thematic analysis covers 41 duration studies, of which 36 found significant duration effects; the review reports that "chronic exposure was found to amplify effects on development" compared with intermittent or no exposure.

"Consistently across these studies, chronic exposure was found to amplify effects on development—children with continued exposure to specific social and economic circumstances across time"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Adverse Experiences — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Each additional period of exposure to social and economic adversity accumulates to produce greater effects on educational and cognitive outcomes, though effects may plateau at a threshold — related
• The probability of school failure increases as a function of the timing and length of children's exposure to relational adversity — related
• Most longitudinal studies of childhood social and economic circumstances find evidence that temporality (duration, timing, or mobility of exposure) relates to educational and cognitive outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
• Movement in and out of social and economic exposure (mobility) across childhood has implications for educational and cognitive outcomes, with upward and downward changes differing in benefit and risk — related
