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.
q2 i? Among 16 good comprehenders, RCR index values varied widely, confirming the index is not redundant with comprehension level. → Lefèvre 2024
Evidence¶
Lefèvre 2024¶
Lefèvre, E., Law, J. M., Prado, J., Anders, R., & Cavalli, E. (2024). Reading Comprehension Resiliency in Adolescents with and without Dyslexia relates to Vocabulary, Listening Comprehension and Socioeconomic Status. https://osf.io/fzyeh/?view_only=84fc51248a0d48ba9a505835e525efdc
q2 · i? · associational · r2
A single-case analysis among the 95 participants identified 16 good comprehenders (8 with dyslexia, 8 typical readers); their RCR index values ranged from above +1 SD to negative values, showing "good comprehenders do not necessarily exhibit a highly positive RCR".
"Within this sub-sample of 16 good comprehenders, the RCR index differentiated them: 7 participants had an RCR index superior to +1 SD above the mean, 5 had an RCR ranging from +0.95 SD to +0.34 SD and 4 had an RCR index ranging from -0.04 SD and -0.27 SD"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- RCR is correlated with vocabulary and listening comprehension in the combined sample — related
- Adolescents with dyslexia show higher reading comprehension resiliency index scores than typical readers — related
- SES is indirectly associated with listening comprehension through vocabulary, and has a significant total indirect effect on RCR — related
