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? Nonlinguistic-probe P1 latency was shorter in older age groups, with adults significantly shorter than 13- and 10-year-olds but not 16-year-olds. → Karns Christina M. 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Cross-sectional ERP study of five age groups (twenty 3–5-year-olds, nineteen 10-year-olds, eighteen 13-year-olds, eighteen 16-year-olds, twenty adults) performing a dichotic story-listening task. The Age-group ANOVA on nonlinguistic P1 latency was significant, "F(3,71) = 52.4, p < .001", with latencies shortening from 114 ms at age 10 to 83 ms in adults.
"P1 latency was shorter in older age groups (Figure 3: Main effect of Age group: F(3,71) = 52.4, p < .001) with average latencies at 114 ms in 10-year-olds, 91 ms in 13-year-olds, 85 ms in 16-year-olds, and 83 ms in adults."

Related Claims¶
- The effect of attention on linguistic-probe P1 latency interacts with age group — related
- Linguistic-probe late-N1 latency decreases with age, unlike the stable early-N1 latency for nonlinguistic probes — related
- Attention increases nonlinguistic-probe P1 amplitude in adults and 13-year-olds, but modulation is weak or absent in 16-year-olds — related
- Nonlinguistic-probe P2 latency increases with age from 10 years into adulthood — related
- Antisaccade performance follows a curvilinear developmental trajectory best fit by an inverse function, with intra-subject latency variability decreasing with age — related
- Not all neurophysiological aspects of auditory distraction mechanisms are mature in late childhood — related
