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? Speech intelligibility scores for OC children were significantly higher than scores for TC children, t(21) = 2.99, p = 0.04. → Lorin Lachs 2001
Evidence¶
Lorin Lachs 2001¶
Lorin Lachs, David B. Pisoni, and Karen Iler Kirk. (2001). Use of Audiovisual Information in Speech Perception by Prelingually Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants. Ear Hear. 2001 June ; 22(3): 236–251. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Independent-samples t-test comparing speech intelligibility of 11 children in Oral Communication settings versus 12 in Total Communication settings. The article reports OC children scored "significantly higher than the scores for TC children, t(21) = 2.99, p = 0.04." No effect size was printed.
"A t-test for independent samples confirmed the finding that speech intelligibility scores for OC children were significantly higher than the scores for TC children, t(21) = 2.99, p = 0.04."
