Subclaims¶

q3 i? Group assignment did not significantly predict between-group difference on joint attention at follow-up (p = 0.515), though the difference represents a small effect size (d = 0.223). → Hampton et al. 2020

Evidence¶

Hampton et al. 2020¶

Lauren H Hampton, Ann P Kaiser and Elizabeth A Fuller. (2020). Multi-component communication intervention for children with autism: A randomized controlled trial. Autism, 24(8), 2104–2116. https://doi.org/10.1177/1362361320934558

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Follow-up regression from the same RCT, controlling for autism severity and pretest scores. The discussion states the follow-up difference 'represent a small effect size (d = 0.223) which is also similar to previous results for this population'.

"At the follow-up, group assignment did not significantly predict a between-group difference on joint attention (p = 0.515)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
