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? AGE GROUP significantly predicted both WCST error measures but not KAS. → Arvidsson C. 2022
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 · r1
Multivariate linear regression (Model 2) with age group predicting perseverative errors, non-perseverative errors and KAS; both EF measures differed by age while KAS did not (F1,54 = 1.3, p = 0.8). Descriptive means were 0.18 vs 0.14 perseverative and 0.12 vs 0.07 non-perseverative errors.
"AGE GROUP was significant for both the EF scores (perseverative errors: F1,54 = 1.71, p < 0.05; non-perseverative errors: F1,54 = 9.55, p < 0.01), but not for KAS (F1,54 = 1.3, p = 0.8)."

Related Claims¶
- World knowledge-based audience design improves between ages 11–12 and 15–16 during online referential production — related
- Executive function (WCST performance) does not explain age-related differences in world knowledge-based audience design — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Cool executive function measures show ascending age-related growth across adolescence, with a growth spurt around age 14–15 — related
