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? Children in the metacognitive group showed significant increases on the N2 ERP component associated with conflict processing, relative to the comparison groups. → Pozuelos 2019
Evidence¶
Pozuelos 2019¶
Pozuelos, J.P., Cómbita, L.M., Abundis-Gutiérrez, A., Paz-Alonso, P.M., Conejero A., Guerra, S., & Rueda, M.R. (2019).

q3 · i? · causal · r?
The abstract reports the neural-level outcome of the training study: the metacognitive group showed "significant increases on the N2 ERP component associated to conflict processing". No statistic or effect size for the N2 change is printed in the available text.
"children in the metacognitive group showed larger gains on intelligence and significant increases on the N2 ERP component associated to conflict processing"
