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 i1 Each 1 SD increase in expressive vocabulary raised odds of preschool-developer versus later-developer classification (OR = 1.40 MLSELD; OR = 1.23 Oregon) and of early versus intermediate classification (OR = 1.68 MLSELD; OR = 1.63 Oregon). → Montroy Janelle J. 2016

q2 · i1 · associational · r3
Logistic regression in the MLSELD preschool sample, controlling for age, race/ethnicity, and primary language, showed children were "1.40 times more likely" to be preschool versus later developers per 1 SD vocabulary increase (OR = 1.40). Oregon sample odds ratios were 1.23 (preschool vs. later) and 1.63 (early vs. intermediate); no other comparisons were significant.
"For a 1 SD increase in expressive vocabulary, children in the MLSELD preschool sample were 1.40 times more likely to be classified as a preschool developer versus a later developer."
