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 cumulative prenatal risk index (premature birth, low birth weight, prenatal drug exposure) showed no significant association with either outcome. → Lewis-Morrarty 2012
Evidence¶
Lewis-Morrarty 2012¶
Lewis-Morrarty, E., Dozier, M., Bernard, K., Terracciano, S., & Moore, S. (2012). Cognitive Flexibility and Theory of Mind Outcomes Among Foster Children: Preschool Follow-up Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial. Journal of Adolescent Health. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jadohealth.2012.05.005
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Preliminary analyses tested whether a cumulative prenatal risk index (premature birth, low birth weight, prenatal drug exposure) predicted outcomes; no significant association was found with cognitive flexibility or theory of mind. Prenatal risk data were missing for 13 foster children whose parents were unsure of specific risk factors.
"Also, the pre-natal risk indices were not significantly associated with the cognitive flexibility or theory of mind outcomes, p’s > .05."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Executive Function — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
