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 i3 A multidimensional group × motivation interaction effect was obtained for the attention dependent variables. → Sebastian Skalski 2021
Evidence¶
Sebastian Skalski 2021¶
Sebastian Skalski, Grzegorz Pochwatko, Robert Balas. (2021). Impact of Motivation on Selected Aspects of Attention in Children with ADHD. Child Psychiatry & Human Development. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10578-020-01042-0
q3 · i3 · causal · r1
Mixed-design two-way MANOVA (group × motivation) with 30 ADHD and 30 TD children; the omnibus interaction was significant with a printed effect size of η² = 0.48, and univariate interactions were confirmed for omission errors, visual search RT and RT slope, and single- and multi-tasking RT.
"As a result of the analyses, a multidimensional interaction effect was obtained regarding group membership and motivation, F(6,53) = 8.13, p < 0.001, η² = 0.48."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The motivation manipulation improved attention performance in children with ADHD but did not change TD children's performance
- Under normal conditions children with ADHD show deficits in vigilance, visual search and divided attention relative to TD children — related
- Increased motivation eliminated ADHD–TD differences on most attention measures but differences persisted in complex multitasking and commission errors — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Adults with ADHD generate more original ideas under competition for a bonus, but not without competition — related
