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? Dependent t-tests showed higher tART exposure in fiction topics than non-fiction topics for the entire group, the high-exposure group, and the low-exposure group. → Song 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Dependent t-tests comparing exposure averaged across fiction topics (literary fiction, mystery and suspense, young adult, drama, poetry) versus non-fiction topics (prose, history, philosophy, self-help) in the 39-participant sample. Only p-values are printed; no effect size is reported.
"dependent t-tests showed that participants had overall higher exposure in fiction topics than non-fiction topics, for the entire group (N = 39, p < .001), the high- (N = 20, p < .01) and low- (N = 19, p < .05) exposure group"

Related Claims¶
- Print exposure measured with the tART correlates strongly with self-reported topic-specific reading frequency — related
- Participants comprehended expository texts better than narrative texts, and comprehension performance did not correlate with print exposure — related
