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? Phase-wise GLM analyses showed network transitions from fronto-temporo-parietal (Phase I) to dorsal attention (Phase II) to default mode cooperation (Phase III) during physics problem solving. → Bartley 2019

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Phase-wise whole-brain GLM analyses of the three sequential FCI phases (scenario view, question presentation, answer selection) in 107 students. Meta-analytic decoding associated Phase I with visuospatial attention and memory retrieval, Phase II with switching and visual short-term memory, and Phase III with DMN-related terms such as mentalizing.
"These network transitions from fronto-temporo-parietal (Phase I) to dorsal attention (DAN; Phase II) followed by default mode cooperation (Phase III) point to the potentially important role V5–DMN–CEN interactions may have within physics reasoning processes."
