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? In a multiple regression with PPVT, K-BIT, and language group as predictors, language group remained significant when entered last. → Greenberg Anastasia 2013
Evidence¶
Greenberg Anastasia 2013¶
Greenberg Anastasia, Bellana Buddhika, Bialystok Ellen. (2013). Perspective-Taking Ability in Bilingual Children: Extending Advantages in Executive Control to Spatial Reasoning. Cognitive Development. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogdev.2012.10.002
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Multiple regression on the same sample with correct responses as the dependent variable; "The model significantly predicted accuracy on the task, F(2,77) = 8.97, p < .001, and accounted for 25.9% of the variance", with language group significant in the final step (Table 3).
"The model significantly predicted accuracy on the task, F(2,77) = 8.97, p < .001, and accounted for 25.9% of the variance. The parameter estimates are reported in Table 3 and show language group remained significant when entered in the last step."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Oral Language — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Bilingual 8-year-olds are more accurate than monolingual 8-year-olds on a computerized spatial perspective-taking task — related
- Working memory accounts for the relation between ADHD traits and communicative perspective-taking — related
- Vocabulary scores predicted executive-loaded non-verbal working memory scores beyond age and non-verbal reasoning — related
- Background measures show no group differences in age, intelligence, or English vocabulary, confirming group matching — related
- Monolingual and bilingual children show no differences in the types of errors committed on the perspective-taking task — related
- The bilingual advantage in perspective taking appears at the 180° and 270° observer positions but not at the 90° position — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
