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 average effect of Pre-K Mathematics on self-regulation outcomes was not statistically significant (summary effect size 0.05, p = 0.74), based on one study with five measures. → selfreg-summary-1

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1
WWC synthesis of one study (DeFlorio et al., 2019) with 231–234 children across five self-regulation measures (Day/Night Stroop, Bear/Dragon, Gift Delay Bow and Wrap tasks, Yarn Tangle). Effect sizes ranged from -0.15 to 0.20; none statistically significant.
