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? A multiple group analysis found the general pattern of results, including regression path weights, held for both age groups. → Hastings 2011

Hastings 2011¶
Hastings, E. C., & West, R. L. (2011). Goal orientation and self-efficacy in relation to memory in adulthood. Neuropsychology, Development, and Cognition. Section B, Aging, Neuropsychology and Cognition, 18(4), 471-493. https://doi.org/10.1080/13825585.2011.575926
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multiple group analysis in Amos 17.0 with age treated continuously within each group; constraining measurement and structural weights and intercepts equal still fit well (χ2(43)=47.83, p=.28, CFI=.986, RMSEA=.02).
"Results indicated that the general pattern of results, including regression path weights, held true for both age groups."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- High-performance feedback increases self-efficacy more than low-performance feedback, with comparable effects across younger and older adults — related
- Younger and older adults select study items in an easy-to-difficult order, consistent with the region of proximal learning model — related
- High-performance feedback increases performance expectations more than low-performance feedback, with additive effects of age and control beliefs — related
- Dispositional learning goals positively predict memory self-efficacy in younger and older adults — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- The cross-lagged model holds equally for intervention and control groups and for boys and girls — related
- The same three-factor model of emergent writing fits both younger and older preschool children despite skill-level differences — related
- The GI/E pattern of relations between achievement and perceptions of the learning environment generalizes across same-aged elementary school students and students attending high-ability secondary schools. — related
