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? Being in the at-risk metacognition profile at M1 predicted membership in the ineffective restudy profile at M2 for fourth graders (standardized residual = 2.1, p < .05). → Mariëtte van Loon 2024
q2 i? Almost half (44.2%) of low-metacognition fourth graders stayed at risk a year later. → Mariëtte van Loon 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal profile-change analysis of 123 fourth graders with complete data; omnibus Chi² tests showed changes deviating from chance (χ² = 12.42, p = 0.015), and the at-risk-to-ineffective-restudy movement exceeded chance expectations. The article states "Almost half (44.2%) of the children with low metacognitive skills in fourth grade appeared likely to keep lagging behind".
"for the fourth grade, being classified into the at-risk metacognition profile at M1 was predictive of being classified into the ineffective restudy metacognition profile at M2 (standardized residual = 2.1, p < .05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Metacognition profile classifications differ between second and fourth graders — related
- For second graders, low metacognition at the first measurement point carries no extra risk of low metacognition one year later — related
- Elementary school children show distinct latent profiles of procedural metacognition combining monitoring accuracy, restudy effectiveness, and decision accuracy across tasks — related
- Effective restudy selection is the metacognitive skill that most distinguishes children's profiles — related
