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? DD children showed larger congruency and facilitation effects than controls in Stroop-type tasks and worse correct rejection performance in the Stop-signal task, indicating impaired interference suppression. → Szucs Denes 2013
Evidence¶

Szucs Denes, Devine Amy, Soltesz Fruzsina, Nobes Alison, Gabriel Florence. (2013). Developmental dyscalculia is related to visuo-spatial memory and inhibition impairment. Cortex, 49(10). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2013.06.007
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Across five experiments (animal Stroop, numerical and physical size Stroop, non-symbolic magnitude comparison, Stop-signal task) in 12 DD vs 12 controls, DD showed larger congruency/facilitation effects and poorer correct rejections, interpreted as "failure to inhibit the task-irrelevant stimulus dimension".
"Overall, our data from five different experiments suggests that DD were more susceptible to the effect of task-irrelevant information than controls."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Non-symbolic magnitude processing shows mixed associations with inhibition measures — related
- Adults with DD show a reduced Number Stroop effect during physical comparison, suggesting weaker automatic activation of number magnitude — reports the opposite
- Spatial processing is preserved but slower in developmental dyscalculia, with slow trail-making and mental rotation speed attributed to WM/inhibition impairment — related
