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? Neither age at the beginning nor at the end of studies correlated significantly with effect size (rs(35) = −0.025, p = 0.885; rs(35) = −0.178, p = 0.307). → Katie Allen & Steve Higgins & John Adams 2019

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Subsection analysis extracting beginning and end ages for the 35 studies (mean beginning age 7.89 years, range 4–15); both correlations were negligible and non-significant, with rs(35) = −0.025 printed; no standardised effect size is reported for this finding.
"Neither showed a significant correlation with effect size (rs(35) = − 0.025, p = 0.885; rs(35) = − 0.178, p = 0.307, respectively)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Smaller sample sizes are associated with larger VSWM–mathematics effect sizes — related
- VSWM shows an overall positive relationship with mathematics performance in school-aged children — a broader claim this one bears on
- Standardised and non-standardised VSWM measures perform equally in relating VSWM to mathematics performance — related
- Studies using a standardised mathematics measure yield significantly larger VSWM–mathematics effect sizes — related
- Type of VSWM assessed (simultaneous, sequential, or both) shows only a marginally non-significant influence on effect sizes — related
