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 i2 Mean RT in both the incongruent and mixed blocks of HF was negatively correlated with visuospatial WM (r = −0.29 and r = −0.21), even after controlling for accuracy in each block. → Ger Ebru 2023

Exploratory correlational analyses in the N = 147 sample: mean RT in the incongruent and mixed HF blocks correlated negatively with visuospatial WM (Mole), "r = −0.29, −0.21", holding after controlling for accuracy. Non-parametric correlations yielded the same pattern.
"The mean RT in both the incongruent and mixed block of HF was negatively correlated with visuospatial WM (r = −0.29, −0.21, p < .0001, .01, respectively), even after controlling for accuracy in each block"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Mean RT in the shifting block is positively correlated with intelligence, counterintuitively, in kindergarten children — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Inhibition accuracy is marginally correlated with verbal WM but not visuospatial WM in kindergarten children — related
- Exploratory WM-task measures correlate with EF indices: inhibition accuracy with correct colors, PES mixed with verbal span, congruency effect with correct locations — related
- Shifting accuracy and shift cost show no association with intelligence or WM in kindergarten children — related
- Inhibition accuracy in the Hearts and Flowers incongruent block is positively correlated with fluid intelligence in kindergarten children — related
