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? In the frequentist GLM, only AGE GROUP predicted AD score; perseverative errors, non-perseverative errors and KAS were not significant. → Arvidsson C. 2022
q3 i? The Bayesian GLM found strong positive evidence for AGE GROUP (BF10 = 16.30) and negative evidence for the EF and KAS terms. → Arvidsson C. 2022 (2)
Evidence¶
Arvidsson C. 2022¶
Arvidsson C., Pagmar D., Uddén J. (2022). When did you stop speaking to yourself? Age-related differences in adolescents' world knowledge-based audience design. Royal Society Open Science 9(11): 220305. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.220305
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Frequentist GLM (Model 1a) on AD score with age group, WCST perseverative and non-perseverative errors, and KAS as predictors; only AGE GROUP was significant (T53 = 3.72, p < 0.001). No effect sizes printed, so impact is null.
"In Model 1a, AGE GROUP was significant T53 = 3.72, p < 0.001. No other terms were significant (perseverative errors: T53 = 1.16, p = 0.25; non-perseverative errors: T53 = 0.39, p = 0.70; KAS: 0.69, p = 0.49)."
Arvidsson C. 2022 (2)¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Corresponding Bayesian GLM (Model 1b) on the same data; BF10 = 16.30 for AGE GROUP and Bayes factors against the EF and KAS predictors, supporting the null link between EF and AD.
"Model 1b found strong positive evidence in favour of AGE GROUP (BF10 = 16.30), but found moderate negative evidence against perseverative errors (BF10 = 1/15.21) and strong negative evidence against non-perseverative errors (BF10 = 1/8.46) and KAS (BF10 = 1/14.14)."

Related Claims¶
- World knowledge-based audience design improves between ages 11–12 and 15–16 during online referential production — related
- Executive function increases with age between 11–12 and 15–16, but knowledge attribution assumptions do not — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Executive function does not explain the age-related decline in perceptual metacognitive efficiency — related
