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 i2 The beneficial cue effect vanished in the visual-tracking condition, yielding a significant Cue × Tracking interaction in 5-year-olds (ηp² = 0.06). → Fitamen 2019
Evidence¶
Fitamen 2019¶
Fitamen, C., Blaye, A. & Camos, V. (2019). Five-year-old children's working memory can be improved when children act on a transparent goal cue. Scientific Reports 9:15342. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-51869-4
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
ANCOVA in the 5-year-old group of the same between-subjects experiment found no cue effect under visual tracking (F < 1) and a significant Cue × Tracking interaction, "F(1,73) = 4.82, p = 0.03, ηp2 = 0.06".
"This beneficial cue effect vanished in the visual-tracking condition, F < 1, resulting in a significant interaction between Cue and Tracking in 5-year-olds, F(1,73) = 4.82, p = 0.03, ηp2 = 0.06."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Four-year-olds showed no benefit of transparent goal cues in either visual or finger tracking conditions — related
- Five-year-olds recall more words in a Brown-Peterson task when they finger-track a transparent goal cue during the retention interval — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Cue type, tracking mode, and age produced a significant three-way interaction on preschoolers' recall performance — a broader claim this one bears on
