Subclaims¶

q3 i2 The ANCOVA with Age, Cue and Tracking as between-subjects factors revealed a significant three-way interaction (ηp² = 0.04), prompting separate analyses per age group. → Fitamen 2019

Evidence¶

Fitamen 2019¶

Fitamen, C., Blaye, A. & Camos, V. (2019). Five-year-old children's working memory can be improved when children act on a transparent goal cue. Scientific Reports 9:15342. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-51869-4

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Omnibus ANCOVA on recall scores across the four experimental conditions in both age groups, with control-condition score as covariate, revealed the three-way interaction, "F(1,148) = 6.50, p = 0.012, ηp2 = 0.04".

"The ANCOV A on recall performance score in the experimental conditions with Age, Cue and Tracking as between-subjects factors revealed an interaction between the three factors, F(1,148) = 6.50, p = 0.012, ηp2 = 0.04."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In 5-year-olds the transparent-cue benefit appears only with finger tracking, producing a significant Cue × Tracking interaction — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Five-year-olds recall more words in a Brown-Peterson task when they finger-track a transparent goal cue during the retention interval — related
• Four-year-olds showed no benefit of transparent goal cues in either visual or finger tracking conditions — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Children's tool use progresses from unspecific manual use to specific instrumental use governed by the tool's culturally established mode of acting — related
