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? Hippocampal inter-problem multivoxel pattern stability was higher in adolescents and adults than in children, though children at Time-1 and Time-2 did not differ. → Qin Shaozheng 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Event-related fMRI multivoxel pattern stability analysis in a subgroup of 20 children plus 20 adolescents and 20 adults; follow-ups showed "higher inter-problem stability in the left and right hippocampus in adolescents and adults compared to children (Scheffe's Ps<0.05)". No effect size is printed.
"Additional analyses using anatomically-defined hippocampal ROIs again revealed significant developmental changes in inter-problem representation stability in the left and right hippocampus in children (Time-1 or Time-2), adolescents, and adults (F(2,57)>3.35, Ps<0.04)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The anterior hippocampus becomes functionally specialized for episodic memory around the transition to adolescence — related
- Hippocampal engagement during problem solving rises in middle childhood and then decreases to adult-like levels by adolescence — related
- Memory-based strategy use continues to increase from childhood through adolescence into adulthood — related
- Meaningful engagement with AI as a co-regulatory partner is more likely from middle childhood onwards — a broader claim this one bears on
- Hippocampal engagement during arithmetic problem solving increases longitudinally in children while prefrontal-parietal engagement decreases — related
- Longitudinal gains in children's retrieval fluency are predicted by increased hippocampal-neocortical functional connectivity, not by hippocampal activation levels — related
