Subclaims¶

q2 i? The phonology-orthography connection model added an extra 13.61% child-level, 0.90% word-level, and 15.52% school-level variance above the phonological predictor model, with a significant word attack × max P→O surprisal interaction. → Edwards 2022 q2 i? Max P→O surprisal did not contribute significantly as a main effect across participants, while the interaction showed better decoders were impacted by greater surprisal. → Edwards 2022 (2)

Model 3 of the cross-classified analysis, adding max P→O surprisal and word attack. The article reports the model "explained 69.44% of the child-level variance" with the printed extra variance above the phonological predictor model.

"This model explained 69.44% of the child-level variance, 48.69% of the word-level variance, and 92.18% of the school-level variance, an extra 13.61%, 0.90%, and 15.52% respectively above the phonological predictor model."

Results text describing the Figure 1 interaction in the phonology-orthography connection predictor model. The interaction was significant, whereas the article reports order, inattention, and max P→O surprisal main effects did not contribute significantly.

"The interaction between word attack and max P→O surprisal is depicted in Figure 1 and shows that those with better decoding skills are impacted by greater max P→O surprisal"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Word-level features predict SfV item difficulty: significant associations with length, order, and number of competitors, but not frequency, concreteness, or surprisal — related
• Phonological predictors (phonological awareness and number of phonological competitors) add unique variance to SfV item performance beyond general predictors — related
• Set for Variability performance is strongly correlated with word identification, word attack, phonological awareness, and vocabulary in grades 2–5 — related
• Word identification adds unique variance and moderates SfV performance, with a three-way word attack × word identification × max P→O surprisal interaction — related
