Subclaims¶

q2 i? Gestational duration showed a reversed relationship with special-educational-needs risk than assumed linearity predicts: post-term gestation (>39.18 weeks) was a positive contributor to non-responder groups, while shorter gestation was a positive contributor to responder groups. → Tan 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1

LIME feature-importance analysis of baseline predictors for 132 students. "Reduced (< 39.18 weeks) and increased gestational duration (>39.18 weeks) were positive contributors to all responder and non-responder groups respectively." Gestation and object recall were consistently top-ranked contributors across all subgroups.

"this study found that longer gestation (> 39.18 weeks) predicted literacy non -responsiveness while comparatively shorter gestation of 35 to 39 weeks predicted literacy responsiveness."
