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? Parents' SES was a significant predictor of children's Point-to-X performance (β=.49, p<.001), accounting for 24 percent of the variance (Model 1). → Gunderson Elizabeth A. 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Baseline regression (Results section, N=44) with the SES composite (income and caregiver education combined via PCA, accounting for 74 percent of original variance). SES remained significant in all subsequent models.
"parents' SES was a significant predictor of children's number knowledge (β=.49, p<.001), accounting for 24 percent of the variance in children's Point-to-X performance (Model 1)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Parent number talk about present, visible objects predicts children's later cardinal-number knowledge, whereas number talk without present objects does not — related
- Parent number talk about large sets (4–10) of present objects predicts children's cardinal-number knowledge more robustly than talk about small sets (1–3) — related
- Small-number parent talk predicts children's performance only on low-number items, whereas large-number talk predicts both low- and high-number Point-to-X items — related
- Parent number talk is not related to children's general vocabulary development once SES and overall talk are controlled, indicating domain specificity — related
- Parent number talk is infrequent but varies widely, and most of it concerns counting or labeling sets, with present-object small-set talk the most common type — related
