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 i? The Audience × Age group interaction (p>0.7) and the three-way Task × Audience × Age group interaction (p>0.6) on accuracy were not significant. → Dumontheil Iroise 2016

Dumontheil Iroise, Wolf Laura K., Blakemore Sarah-Jayne. (2016). Audience effects on the neural correlates of relational reasoning in adolescence. Neuropsychologia. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2016.05.001
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Behavioural ANOVA results from the fMRI study: unlike the neural audience effect, the accuracy cost of the peer audience did not differ between the 19 adolescents and 14 adults; equivalence was not tested. This contrasts with the authors' earlier behavioural study where only adolescents were affected.
"The Audience x Age group interaction (p>0.7) and the three-way interaction between Task, Audience and Age group (p>0.6) were not significant."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Being observed by a friend or an experimenter affects relational reasoning accuracy in adolescents but not in adults — reports the opposite
- Older adolescents respond faster when observed by an experimenter than by a friend or when alone, while social condition does not affect younger adolescents' or adults' response times — related
- Adults show greater left inferior lateral PFC activation than adolescents during relational integration — related
- A peer audience decreases accuracy in the complex relational integration condition in both adolescents and adults — reports the opposite
- Older adolescents (14.9–17.8 years) show lower relational reasoning accuracy when observed by a friend than by an experimenter, across task difficulty levels
- Across all age groups, relational reasoning accuracy is lower in the friend-present condition than in the experimenter-present condition overall — related
- A peer audience differentially modulates fronto-parietal activation by age: increased in adolescents, decreased in adults — related
