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? Children's mastery of counting, concrete representational arithmetic, and abstract arithmetic operations can be measured at 54 months of age in a large longitudinal cohort. → Pamela Davis-Kean 2021

q2 · i? · associational · r?
The abstract describes the study's measurement design: mastery of "three numeric competencies" was measured "at 54 months of age" using the Woodcock-Johnson Applied Problems subtest with 1,364 SECCYD children. This establishes the feasibility of assessing these distinct early math skills at preschool age in a longitudinal cohort.
"this study measures children’s mastery of three numeric competencies (counting, concrete representational arithmetic and abstract arithmetic operations) at 54 months of age"
