q2 i? Children's mastery of early numeric competencies at 54 months of age predicts later college attendance. → Pamela Davis-Kean 2021

Evidence¶

Pamela Davis-Kean 2021¶

Pamela Davis-Kean, Thurston Domina, Megan Kuhfeld, Alexa Ellis, Elizabeth Gershoff. (2021). It matters how you start: Early numeracy mastery predicts high school math course-taking and college attendance. Infant and Child Development. https://doi.org/10.1002/icd.2281

q2 · i? · associational · r?

The article's title states that early numeracy mastery also "predicts" college attendance in the same longitudinal SECCYD sample. The abstract-only text prints no effect sizes or statistics for this outcome, so only the predictive claim itself is supported.

"It matters how you start: Early numeracy mastery predicts high school math course-taking and college attendance"
