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.
q2 i? Cognitive tutoring or specific training reconfigures the functional connectivity of relevant brain regions in elementary school children. → Stephan E. Vogel and Bert De Smedt 2021
q2 i? The educational transition from play-based kindergarten learning to formal grade-one learning changes brain activity during domain-general executive-function processes. → Stephan E. Vogel and Bert De Smedt 2021 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r3
Review narrative citing tutoring and training studies: "cognitive tutoring or specific training reconfigures the functional connectivity of relevant brain regions in elementary school"; no effect sizes are printed.
"For example, cognitive tutoring or speci fic training recon figures the functional connectivity of relevant brain regions in elementary school 20,29,30."

q2 · i? · review · r3
Review narrative on educational practice shaping brain networks: the kindergarten-to-grade-one transition "changes the brain activity during domain-general processes, such as executive function", indicating these networks are malleable via educational practice; no effect sizes are printed.
"The educational transition from play-based learning in kindergarten to formal learning in grade one in primary school even changes the brain activity during domain-general processes, such as executive function"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Intra-brain theta-band functional connectivity between frontal and parietal regions declined more steeply during learning in the joint context than the baseline context — related
- Changes in dorsal ACC–striatum connectivity predict growth-mindset gains, with dACC–striatal connectivity the strongest individual link — related
- Functional connectivity between parietal cortex and occipito-temporal cortex during numerical processing is present in adults but absent in children, whose IFG instead correlates with both regions — related
