Subclaims¶

q2 i? A significant session × recalibration-effect interaction showed higher left STG activation at session 2 for children with stronger recalibration effects (mean difference = 0.603, p < 0.05). → Romanovska 2022

Evidence¶

Romanovska 2022¶

Romanovska, L., Janssen, R. & Bonte, M. (2022). Longitudinal changes in cortical responses to letter-speech sound stimuli in 8–11 year-old children. npj Science of Learning 7:2. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-021-00118-3

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Post-hoc mixed regression in the same longitudinal fMRI sample. The session × recalibration effect interaction was significant (F(2,17) = 5.808, p < 0.05) in the left STG cluster; the authors link it to emergence of the recalibration effect across sessions.

"regardless of age, children who show a (stronger) recalibration effect across measurement sessions, show more activation in the left STG cluster during session 2 compared to session 3 (mean difference = 0.603, t(12) = 2.791, p < 0.05)."

Related Claims¶

• Cortical activation changes were not linked to reading fluency or phoneme perception, and pre-CG showed no significant covariate interactions — related
• No significant behavioural text-based recalibration effect was observed in the MRI scanner environment across the three sessions — related
• Left STG developmental activation change interacts with baseline age: younger children peak at session 2, older children show more activation at session 3 — related
• Cortical activation in left STG and lateral inferior precentral gyrus shows non-linear developmental change across three yearly fMRI sessions in 8–11-year-old children — a broader claim this one bears on
