Subclaims¶

q2 i? After three months, the intervention class's average scores in pinching, touching, drawing and cutting exceeded the control class, while folding and stringing showed no obvious difference. → Wei 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Subscale comparison from the same single-factor experiment's post-test (Table 3): intervention pinch 2.24 vs 1.79, touch 3.7 vs 3.62, draw 0.10 vs 0.09, cut 0.07 vs 0.06, but fold and string showed "no obvious difference from the control class".

"It is found in post-test result that the intervention class’s average scores of all fine motors were higher than the control class except folding and stringing, which did not have obvious difference from the control class."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The intervention class started with lower fine motor scores and remained below the control class at the intermediate test one month in — related
• A three-month folk games intervention improved the overall fine motor skills of the intervention class, which scored 0.09 higher than the control class at post-test — a broader claim this one bears on
