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? In a stepwise multiple regression, only priming-task noncanonical performance significantly predicted age. → Sung JE 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Stepwise multiple regression with age as the outcome and accuracy percentages from the four task conditions as predictors, in the 60-participant cross-sectional study. The article reports "F(1, 58) = 25.255, p <. 0001, R2 = .303"; no standardized effect size is printed.
"performance on the syntactic priming task with a noncanonical word order was the only significant predictor for age among the four predictors, F(1, 58) = 25.255, p <. 0001, R2 = .303."
