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? Duration of deafness, PIQ, SES, sentence duration and early language PC score each contributed significant independent variance; together early predictors accounted for 71% of CI-HS language variance. → Geers Ann E. 2011

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical multiple linear regression (Table 4) predicting CI-HS language PC score from CI-E measures: step 1 (gender, duration of deafness, PIQ, family size, SES, sign enhancement) explained 25%; sentence duration added 29%; early language PC added 17% (β = 0.708, p <.001).
"Together, the predictor variables examined from the CI-E test session accounted for 71% of the variance in CI-HS language scores."
