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? Evidence for a lack of relation between GMV and arithmetic score was strong in the left AG and hippocampus and substantial in the left IPS. → Nurit Viesel-Nordmeyer and Jérôme Prado 2023
Evidence¶
Nurit Viesel-Nordmeyer and Jérôme Prado 2023¶
Nurit Viesel-Nordmeyer and Jérôme Prado. (2023). Arithmetic skills are associated with left fronto-temporal gray matter volume in 536 children and adolescents. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00201-x
q3 · i? · associational · r3
Bayesian mixed-effect models on the same n = 536 VBM sample quantified evidence for the null hypothesis of no GMV-arithmetic relation in each ROI. The article reports "strong in the left AG (BF 01 = 11.58) and hippocampus" and "substantial in the left IPS (BF 01 = 7.10)".
"Evidence for a lack of relation between GMV and arithmetic score was strong in the left AG (BF 01 = 11.58) and hippocampus (left: BF 01 = 10.38, right: BF10 = 12.43), substantial in the left IPS (BF 01 = 7.10), and anecdotal in the right IPS (BF 01 = 2.82)."
