q3 i? Inhibitory control was not significantly correlated with reading and early mathematics, with the exception of word problems at kindergarten. → Yang X and Meng X 2020

Evidence¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Correlational analysis (Table 2) of Flanker-task inhibitory control with reading and mathematics measures at both time points. The article reports the correlations were insignificant except for kindergarten word problems; no effect size is printed, so impact is null. Equivalence was not tested.

"The current study demonstrated insignificant correlations between inhibitory control and reading and early mathematics (except for word problems at kindergarten)."
