Subclaims¶

q2 i? Studies of indoor noise at school yielded evidence for chronic effects on children's reading and prereading skills. → Klatte M 2013

Evidence¶

Klatte M 2013¶

Klatte M, Bergström K and Lachmann T (2013) Does noise affect learning? A short review on noise effects on cognitive performance in children. Front. Psychol. 4:578. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00578

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports, citing Maxwell and Evans, Shield and Dockrell, and Klatte et al., that studies of indoor noise at school "yielded evidence for chronic effects on children’s reading and prereading skills"; the reviewed designs are not detailed in the review.

"Concerning the former, studies yielded evidence for chronic effects on children’s reading and prereading skills ( Maxwell and Evans, 2000; Shield and Dockrell, 2008; Klatte et al., 2010c )."
