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? The correlation between weighted time in association and quality of reading is .34, indicating the two tests measure in part the same functions and in part different things. → Haggerty 1918
Evidence¶

Haggerty, M. E. (1918). Tests of applicants for admission to University of Minnesota Medical School. Journal of Educational Psychology, 9(5), 278–286. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0071405
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Correlation between the two admission tests among the 93 tested applicants, reported in Table I. The article states the correlation of ".34 (weighted time in association and quality of reading" shows the tests measure in part the same functions.
"That the two tests measure in part the same functions is indicated by the correlation between them of .34 (weighted time in association and quality of reading. (See Table I)."
