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 i3 Better spatial memory was associated with better spatial imagery performance in the congenitally blind group but not the sighted group. → Occelli Valeria 2017

Evidence

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

Group-specific correlational analyses. The congenitally blind showed a spatial memory–spatial imagery correlation of "r = .77, p = .005"; the sighted group showed no significant correlation between these measures.

"Better spatial memory was associated with better spatial imagery performance in the congenitally blind group (r = .77, p = .005) but not the sighted group."
