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? Neural activation in left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, previously identified in adult reappraisal, increases linearly with age. → McRae et al 2012

q3 · i? · associational · r?
fMRI results from the developmental reappraisal task across three age groups. The authors "observed linear age-related increases in activation in the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, previously identified in adult reappraisal."
"Neurally, we observed linear age-related increases in activation in the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, previously identified in adult reappraisal."
