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? Cross-sectional comparisons show adolescents and adults use memory-based retrieval more than children, indicating continued development of retrieval fluency beyond childhood. → Qin Shaozheng 2014
Evidence¶

Qin Shaozheng, Cho Soohyun, Chen Tianwen, Rosenberg-Lee Miriam, Geary David C., Menon Vinod. (2014). Hippocampal-neocortical functional reorganization underlies children's cognitive development. Nature Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1038/nn.3788
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Cross-sectional ANOVA comparing strategy mixes of children at Time 2, 20 adolescents, and 20 adults. Post-hoc tests showed "greater memory-based strategy use in adolescents and adults than in children (Scheffe's Ps<0.03)"; no effect size is printed.
"Cross-sectional comparisons between children at Time 2, adolescents, and adults revealed that the transition to memory-based problem solving continued into adolescence and adulthood (F(2, 65)>3.78, Ps<0.028)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children shift from counting to memory-based retrieval strategies in single-digit addition over a 1.2-year interval in middle childhood — related
- Hippocampal engagement during problem solving rises in middle childhood and then decreases to adult-like levels by adolescence — related
- Inter-problem multivoxel pattern stability in the hippocampus increases from childhood through adolescence into adulthood, reaching adult-like levels by adolescence — related
- Uncinate fasciculus and cingulum bundle continue developing into adulthood while fornix integrity is age-invariant from age 5, and uncinate integrity relates to recall — related
- In adults only, poorer math achievement is associated with greater hippocampal NRE sensitivity — related
- Meaningful engagement with AI as a co-regulatory partner is more likely from middle childhood onwards — a broader claim this one bears on
- Longitudinal gains in children's retrieval fluency are predicted by increased hippocampal-neocortical functional connectivity, not by hippocampal activation levels — related
- Hippocampal engagement during arithmetic problem solving increases longitudinally in children while prefrontal-parietal engagement decreases — related
