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.
q2 i? Group mean ordering was non-linear for all three subtests, e.g. visoperception GI < GII < GIII < GV < GIV and visomotor integration GI < GII < GV < GIII < GIV. → Capellini 2017

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Cross-grade comparison of the five groups' Beery VMI-6 subtest means (Table 1). The article states "there is not a progression of acquisition and development of the subtests", printing the group orderings for each test.
"We can observe that there is not a progression of acquisition and development of the subtests, as in visoperception (GI < GII < GIII < GV < GIV), motor coordination (GI < GII < GV < GIII < GIV) and visomotor integration (GI < GII < GV < GIII < GIV)"

Related Claims¶
- First-grade students show inferior visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination performance compared with the other grade groups — related
- Dysgraphia classification differs significantly across grade groups, with 80% of 1st graders, 10% of 3rd graders and 60% of 5th graders classified with dysgraphia — related
- Visual-motor integration was the lowest-scoring ability and motor coordination the best-performing ability in every grade group — related
- No significant difference was found between grade groups in the classification distribution of VMI, VP and MC performance levels — related
- Only in the 5th-grade group were moderate positive correlations found, between visual-motor integration and motor coordination (r = 0.748) and between visual perception and dysgraphia classification (r = 0.643) — related
