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.
q2 i? The review reports that a confirmatory factor analysis testing the 2x2 intrinsic-extrinsic by static-dynamic framework in kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th grade children found no evidence for the static-dynamic dimension at any age or for the overall framework. → Kelsey E. Schenck 2024

q2 · i? · review · r2
Narrative review attributing this null result to Mix et al. (2018), a confirmatory factor analysis on children in kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th grades. The review concludes other frameworks with less dimensionality may better fit children's spatial abilities. No effect size is printed.
"an experimental study by Mix et al. (2018) testing the 2 × 2 classification framework using confirmatory factor analysis on data from children in kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th grades failed to find evidence for the static-dynamic dimension at any age or for the overall 2 × 2 classification framework."
