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 i0 Among 167 fifth graders, phonological skills did not correlate significantly with fraction skills (r = .059), and verbal reasoning did not correlate significantly with arithmetic skills (r = .101). → Kleemans 2018
Evidence¶
Kleemans 2018¶
Kleemans, T., Segers, E., & Verhoeven, L. (2018). Role of linguistic skills in fifth-grade mathematics. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 167, 404-413. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2017.11.012
q3 · i0 · associational · r2
Pearson correlations among predictor and criterion measures (N = 167) computed before the mediation analyses. The article prints r = .059 (p = .448) for phonological skills with fraction skills and r = .101 (p = .194) for verbal reasoning with arithmetic skills; both are non-significant.
"All predictor variables correlated significantly with the criterion measures (all ps < .05) except for phonological skills and fraction skills (r = .059, p = .448) and verbal reasoning and arithmetic skills ( r = .101, p = .194)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Phonological Awareness — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Basic linguistic skills and working memory are indirectly related to fifth-grade fraction skills via arithmetic skills — reports the opposite
- Basic linguistic skills and working memory are indirectly related to fifth-grade geometric skills via arithmetic skills — related
- Verbal reasoning is directly related to fifth-grade fraction skills over and above arithmetic skills — related
- Academic vocabulary, verbal reasoning, nonverbal reasoning, and working memory directly predict sixth-grade geometric and fraction skills — related
- Phonological skills and naming speed indirectly predict sixth-grade geometric and fraction skills via arithmetic skills in both DLD and TD children — related
