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? Late-N1 peak latency for linguistic probes decreased with age, with 10-, 13-, and 16-year-olds showing longer latencies than adults. → Karns Christina M. 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Age-group ANOVA on linguistic late-N1 latency in the dichotic story task: latency "decreased with age", F(3,71) = 50.4, p <.001, and Bonferroni-corrected contrasts showed all three adolescent groups had longer latencies than adults (all p < .001).
"The peak latency of the late-N1 decreased with age from 251 ms in 10-year-olds, 262 ms in 13-year-olds, 243 ms in 16-year-olds, and 208 ms in adults (F(3,71) = 50.4, p <.001)."
