Subclaims¶

q3 i1 Children in the Math Supplement condition exhibited higher REMA scores than children in the Technology & Media condition (1.09 points, effect size .15, p<.06) and than the Business as Usual condition (1.09 points, effect size .15, p<.07), both marginally significant. → Llorente 2015

q3 · i1 · causal · r2

Standardized pre/post individual assessments with the REMA short form in the RCT; the article reports the Supplement vs Technology & Media REMA contrast as "1.09 points, effect size of .15 and p < .06", and the Business as Usual contrast as marginally significant at p < .07.

"A marginally significant effect also was detected in REMA data. Children in the Math Supplement condition exhibited higher REMA scores than children in the Technology & Media condition (1.09 points, effect size of .15 and p < .06)."
