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.
q3 i? Despite attempting a similar number of items, CI users scored significantly worse than NH controls on RPM items correct (t = 2.61, p = .011). → Mattingly Jameson K MD 2018

Mattingly Jameson K MD, Castellanos Irina PhD, Moberly Aaron C MD. (2018). Nonverbal Reasoning as a Contributor to Sentence Recognition Outcomes in Adults with Cochlear Implants. Otology & Neurotology. https://doi.org/10.1097/MAO.0000000000001998
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Independent-samples t-test reported in Results (Table 2): mean items correct was 9.9 (SD 5.0) for CI users versus 13.0 (SD 5.8) for NH controls, t = 2.61, p = .011; items attempted did not differ (p = .355). The groups "attempting the same number of items on the RPM" still differed in accuracy.
"Despite CI and NH controls attempting the same number of items on the RPM, CI users scored significantly more poorly compared to NH controls."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- An abbreviated 12-item RPM subset predicts sentence recognition in CI users with comparable validity to the full 48-item test — related
- Cumulative correct answers on blended-workshop activities relate to final exam score, but number of attempts does not — related
- Nonverbal reasoning scores also correlate with degraded (noise-vocoded) sentence recognition in age-matched normal-hearing listeners — related
- The 12-item RPM subset similarly predicts degraded sentence recognition in normal-hearing controls, replicating the CI finding — related
- Nonverbal reasoning (RPM) scores are positively correlated with sentence recognition in post-lingually deafened adult cochlear implant users — related
