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? RM ANOVA across three sessions revealed significant clusters only in left STG and lateral inferior pre-CG, with pairwise comparisons showing activation increases from session 1 to 2. → Romanovska 2022

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal fMRI study of 18 children scanned yearly with a text-based recalibration task. RM ANOVA on exposure-block activation found session effects only in "the left STG and lateral inferior precentral gyrus" at whole-brain FDR q < 0.05; plotted individual betas indicated non-linear changes.
"RM ANOVA analyses investigating changes in cortical activation across sessions, revealed significant clusters only in the left STG and lateral inferior precentral gyrus (pre-CG; Fig. 4; whole-brain FDR threshold q < 0.05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Left STG developmental activation change interacts with baseline age: younger children peak at session 2, older children show more activation at session 3 — related
- Cortical activation changes were not linked to reading fluency or phoneme perception, and pre-CG showed no significant covariate interactions — related
- Lateral inferior pre-CG activation differed significantly between sessions 1 and 2, with other pairwise differences only at uncorrected levels — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Children showing stronger behavioural recalibration effects show more left STG activation in session 2 than session 3, regardless of age — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
