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 i0 Path analysis found no indirect paths from effortful control or paternal inattention through childhood inattention symptoms to N2 amplitude (β = −0.06 and β = 0.03, both non-significant), while the model explained 29% of N2 variance with good fit. → Einziger Tzlil 2021

q3 · i0 · associational · r2
Path analysis (lavaan) in the longitudinal sample testing direct and indirect routes to adolescent N2. The article reports "No indirect paths through inattention symptoms were found" with β = −0.06 and β = 0.03; the full model explained 29% of N2 variance (CFI = 1, RMSEA < 0.01).
"No indirect paths through inattention symptoms were found; β = −0.06, z = −0.86, p = 0.40 and β = 0.03, z = 0.82, p = 0.41 for childhood effortful control and paternal inattention, respectively."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Higher inattention symptoms throughout childhood uniquely predict reduced adolescent N2 amplitude during successful inhibition, beyond hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms — related
- Lower temperamental effortful control at 36 months directly predicts reduced N2 amplitude in adolescence, above and beyond ADHD symptoms — related
- Paternal inattention symptoms measured in early infancy predict adolescent N2 amplitude almost 17 years later, suggesting a parent-of-origin effect — related
- Consistently high childhood ADHD symptoms correlate with both reduced N2 amplitude and longer SSRT in adolescence — related
- Adolescents in the lowest quartile of concurrent inattention symptoms show larger negative N2 amplitudes than the other three quartiles, with no linear concurrent correlation — related
- Total childhood ADHD symptoms predict longer adolescent SSRT, but neither symptom domain shows specificity and early precursors do not predict SSRT — related
