Subclaims¶

q2 i? Parents reporting more frequent home literacy activities had children who performed better in math, even controlling for other covariates. → Silver 2022

Evidence¶

Silver 2022¶

Silver, A. M., Elliott, L., & Libertus, M. E. (2022). Parental math input is not uniformly beneficial for young children: The moderating role of inhibitory control. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000679

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Covariate-adjusted regressions found a positive relation between parent-reported home literacy activities and children's TEMA-3 math achievement, described as a "somewhat surprising finding". No effect size is printed, so impact is null.

"Parents who reported engaging in more frequent literacy activities had children who performed better in math, even when controlling for other covariates and including the frequency of home math activities in analyses."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Home Learning Environment — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
