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 i? Lower general (between-person) perceived control was a significant predictor of more everyday memory problems, while weekly fluctuations in perceived control were not related to memory problems. → Hahn Elizabeth A. Ph.D. 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Adjusted multilevel model (n = 103) separating within-person and between-person control. General perceived control: Est. = -3.70, p < .001; weekly control slope: Est. = -0.06, p = .806. The article reports lower general control "was a significant predictor of a greater number of everyday memory problems."
"Lower general perceived control was a significant predictor of a greater number of everyday memory problems, but weekly fluctuations in perceived control were not related to everyday memory problems."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Lower weekly perceived control correlates with more everyday memory problems at the within-person level — related
- Low weekly perceived control predicts more memory problems among adults with greater memory decline and low SOC strategy use (three-way interaction) — related
- Higher education predicts more everyday memory problems, consistent with awareness and stress-exposure explanations — related
- Selection strategies predict fewer memory problems regardless of decline extent; optimization and compensation are adaptive mainly under greater decline — related
- Greater ten-year working memory decline predicts more everyday memory problems in adjusted multilevel analyses — related
