q3 i? Within the metacognitive scaffolding group, changes in the N2 component predicted gains in intelligence. → 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). Metacognitive scaffolding boosts cognitive and neural benefits following executive attention training in children. Developmental Science, 22: e12756. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12756

q3 · i? · causal · r?

The abstract reports a brain-behavior link found only in the metacognitive scaffolding group: "changes in the N2 component predicted gains in intelligence". This is a predictive association; no coefficient or effect size is printed in the available text.

"Moreover, changes in the N2 component predicted gains in intelligence in the metacognitive scaffolding group"
