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? There was no significant moderating effect of menstrual cycle phase on cognitive flexibility. → Shields Grant S. 2016

Shields Grant S., Trainor Brian C., Lam Jovian C. W., Yonelinas Andrew P. (2016). Acute Stress Impairs Cognitive Flexibility in Men, Not Women. Stress. https://doi.org/10.1080/10253890.2016.1192603
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Additional analysis within the randomized experiment testing menstrual cycle phase (approximated from days since cycle onset) as a moderator. The article reports only the F statistic and "p=.167".
"An additional analysis determined that there was no significant moderating effect of menstrual cycle phase on cognitive flexibility, F(2,60)=1.85, p=.167."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
