Evidence¶

Bárbara Malcorra 2024¶

Bárbara Malcorra, Marina Ribeiro, Luísa Jensen, Giovana Gomes, Tamara Meletti & Natália Bezerra Mota. (2024). Speech connectedness predicts reading performance three months in advance: a longitudinal experiment. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00248-4

q1 · i? · associational · r1

Supplementary observational finding noted in the discussion of the longitudinal sample; the article provides no statistics in the main text and explicitly defers the sex-difference analysis to future studies, referencing Supplementary Note 1.

"Interestingly, we found a higher connectedness for girls than boys and a diverse pattern of association with reading performances that should be addressed in future studies (Supplementary Note 1)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Oral Language — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
