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? Unlike controls, stress-exposed adolescents did not follow the optimal strategy of initially responding to images indiscriminately to explore and gather information. → Harms Madeline B. 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Behavioral analysis of the acquisition condition found "stress-exposed adolescents did not follow the optimal strategy of initially responding to images indiscriminately" to explore and gather information, consistent with reduced exploration when incentives are at stake.
"Unlike controls, stress-exposed adolescents did not follow the optimal strategy of initially responding to images indiscriminately at the beginning of each acquisition run to explore and gather information."
