Subclaims¶

q3 i? Neither stroop-based cognitive inhibition nor teacher-rated inhibition (BRIEF) correlated significantly with arithmetic fact retrieval in 86 third graders. → Bellon E 2016

Evidence¶

Bellon E 2016¶

Bellon E, Fias W and De Smedt B (2016) Are Individual Differences in Arithmetic Fact Retrieval in Children Related to Inhibition? Front. Psychol. 7:825. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00825

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Correlational analysis in 86 typically developing third graders; computerized task correlations controlled for motor reaction time. The study "found no significant correlations between the stroop tasks and arithmetic verification," and the BRIEF correlated with no other measure.

"We found no significant correlations between the stroop tasks and arithmetic verification."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Arithmetic Fact Retrieval — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Teacher-rated inhibition (BRIEF) does not correlate with stroop-based cognitive inhibition measures — related
• Inhibition's role in arithmetic fact retrieval may be limited to atypically developing children — a broader claim this one bears on
• Inhibition does not uniquely predict arithmetic fact retrieval above numerical magnitude processing — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Symbolic numerical magnitude processing is a powerful unique predictor of arithmetic fact retrieval — related
