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 i3 Significant Time × Group interactions were observed across all inhibitory control measures with medium-to-large effect sizes, with the NAT group improving while controls remained stable. → Han Jiang 2026

q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Computerized Go/No-Go task (distinct from training tasks) administered at pre-, mid- and post-test in the RCT. Task Difficulty interaction: F(1,54) = 18.82, p < 0.001, η²p = 0.26; Go RT interaction η²p = 0.16; Go Accuracy η²p = 0.18; No-Go Accuracy η²p = 0.16, with groups diverging only at post-test on several measures.
"For near-transfer effects on EF (Objective 2), significant Time × Group interactions were observed across all inhibitory control measures, with medium-to-large effect sizes (Figure 4)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Executive Function — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- In discipline-specific exploratory regressions, neither Stroop RT cost nor complex No-Go accuracy significantly predicted science or maths misconception measures separately — related
- Incongruent items in school-topic tasks are generally associated with longer response times and lower accuracy, patterns consistent with inhibitory control recruitment — related
- Better response inhibition (complex No-Go accuracy) is associated with longer reaction times on counterintuitive misconception trials, not better performance — related
- Go-trial response times are slower during the stop-signal task than the no-tone task, with no diagnostic group difference — related
- Smaller response-time differences between incongruent and congruent trials (better inhibition) correlate with higher mathematics scores — related
