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? Children performed better on the spelling recognition task than the spelling production task. → Critten 2006
Evidence¶
Critten 2006¶
Critten, S., Pine, K., & Steffler, D. (2006). Spelling Development in Young Children: A Case of Representational-Redescription? Manuscript submitted for publication (Date of Submission: Thursday 3rd August 2006). https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-0663.99.1.207
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Paired-sample t-test comparing the same 51 children's production (M = 6.53, SD = 4.03) and recognition (M = 9.96, SD = 2.23) scores on the same 15 words. The article interprets this as support for a multiple-representational system underlying spelling development.
"A paired sample t-test on number of correct responses indicated children performed better on the spelling recognition task than the spelling production task, t (50) = 8.11, p < .05 (M = 6.53, SD = 4.03 for spelling production and M = 9.96, SD =2.23 for spelling recognition)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Spelling production and recognition accuracy both increase as representational explicitness increases from E1A to E3 — related
- Children's spelling justifications can be coded into RR-model representational levels, with E1 splitting into phonological (E1A) and morphological (E1B) sub-levels — related
