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? In nine of the reviewed studies the bilingual group had lower socioeconomic status than monolinguals, a factor the review identifies as influencing results. → Giovannoli J 2020

q2 · i? · review · r3
Review narrative in the Results section on participant characteristics: parental education was the most used SES indicator, and in nine studies bilinguals had lower SES than monolinguals. The review treats SES as a moderator of observed bilingual effects, not as a tested effect itself.
"Many of the studies provided information on socioeconomic status, and the most used as an indicator of SES the education al level of parents. In nine studies, the group of bilinguals had a lower socioeconomic status than monolinguals."
