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? The review relates selective attention processes to three domains important to academic foundations: language, literacy, and mathematics. → Stevens 2012
Evidence¶
Stevens 2012¶
Stevens, Courtney; Bavelier, Daphné. (2012). The role of selective attention on academic foundations: A cognitive neuroscience perspective. Developmental cognitive neuroscience, vol. 2S, p. S30–S48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2011.11.001
q2 · i? · review · r?
The review's third section examines hypothesized links between selective attention and the three named academic domains. The abstract presents these as "hypothesized links between selective attention and processing across three domains important to early academic skills," not as newly tested effects.
"In the third section, we relate the processes of selective attention to three domains important to academic foundations: language, literacy, and mathematics."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Developmental differences in selective attention are related to neural systems for deploying attention and managing response conflict, while deployed selective attention acts through similar neural mechanisms across ages
- Video-game play and mind-brain training literatures suggest the possibility of training selective attention
- Executive function measures predict early mathematics achievement over and above reading ability and IQ
- Academic and nonacademic skills developed in preschool and early elementary years are foundational to important longer-term outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
- Early math and literacy development intertwine in early childhood — related
