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 i2 Children in the AKC made significantly more narrator statements, F(1, 31) = 4.68, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.13, and significantly fewer metanarrator ones, F(1, 31) = 4.2, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.12, than those in the KC. → Yuill N 2014

q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Study 2 narrative-role coding using Cassell and Ryokai's three-category scheme (narrative, character, metanarrator); a mixed ANOVA showed "a significant effect of playset, [F(3, 29) = 2.95, p < 0.05]", with roles more balanced in the AKC condition (η2 = 0.13 and 0.12 for the pairwise contrasts).
"Children in the AKC made significantly more narrator statements, [ F(1, 31) = 4.68, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.13], and significantly fewer metanarrator ones, [F(1, 31) = 4.2, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.12], than those in the KC"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The augmentation effect on cooperative play replicated in Study 2, with a large playset-by-behavior interaction and no overlap in confidence intervals — related
- An audio-augmented toy produced significantly longer cooperative play than the same toy without augmentation in triads of 6- to 11-year-olds — related
- Attention bids were significantly more likely to succeed with the augmented toy (68% vs 52% success) — related
- Joint narratives after augmented play were rated more creative, and per-child creativity correlated with cooperative play (r = 0.72) and negatively with parallel play — related
- Parent narrative utterances at 42 months predict child PPVT at 54 months with quantity, SES, and prior vocabulary controlled — related
