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 i3 Raw correlations between the serial order reconstruction task and vocabulary were significant at Age 4 (r = .48, p<.01) and Age 5 (r = .54, p<.001), and the delayed nonword repetition task also correlated with vocabulary at both ages (r = .34 and r = .40). → Leclercq 2010

q3 · i3 · associational · r2
Zero-order correlation analyses in the longitudinal cohort at both assessment periods. The article reports "serial order reconstruction task at Age 4: r = .48, p<.01" and "serial order reconstruction task at Age 5: r = .54, p<.001", with nonword repetition correlations of r = .34 and r = .40.
"raw correlation analyses showed a significant association between STM and vocabulary measures at each age period (serial order reconstruction task at Age 4: r = .48, p<.01; delayed nonword repetition task at Age 4: r = .34, p<.05; serial order reconstruction task at Age 5: r = .54, p<.001; delayed nonword repetition task at Age 4: r = .40, p<.01)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Serial order STM at Age 4 predicts later nonverbal reasoning, but serial order STM gain does not predict nonverbal reasoning gain
- Growth in serial order STM from Age 4 to Age 5 predicts growth in vocabulary, whereas growth in item STM does not — related
- Vocabulary knowledge at Age 4 does not predict serial order STM development at Age 5 once initial age, nonverbal reasoning and serial order STM are controlled — related
- Serial order STM at Age 4 predicts vocabulary knowledge at Age 5 over and above initial vocabulary, item STM, age and nonverbal reasoning — related
