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? Fathers' inattention symptoms at child age 2-6 months were significantly associated with adolescent N2 amplitude at 17 years, while fathers' hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms were not. → Einziger Tzlil 2021
Evidence¶
Einziger Tzlil 2021¶
Einziger Tzlil, Ben-Shachar Mattan S., Devor Tali, Shmueli Michael, Auerbach Judith G., Berger Andrea. (2021). "My Brain Can Stop": An ERP Study of Longitudinal Prediction of Inhibitory Control in Adolescence. Brain Sciences, 11(1), 100. https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci11010100
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Bivariate correlation analysis in the longitudinal sample showed the infant-era paternal link. The article reports the association "remained significant when we controlled for fathers' hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms"; mothers' symptoms were only at trend level.
"Fathers' inattention symptoms, measured when their children were 2–6 months of age, were significantly associated with adolescent N2 amplitude at 17 years of age (this correlation remained significant when we controlled for fathers' hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Higher inattention symptoms throughout childhood uniquely predict reduced adolescent N2 amplitude during successful inhibition, beyond hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms — related
- Early precursors predict adolescent N2 directly, not indirectly through childhood inattention symptoms — related
- Total childhood ADHD symptoms predict longer adolescent SSRT, but neither symptom domain shows specificity and early precursors do not predict SSRT — related
- Lower temperamental effortful control at 36 months directly predicts reduced N2 amplitude in adolescence, above and beyond ADHD symptoms — related
