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 Across all participants, verbal memory tended to decline with age, significantly so at the T3 timepoint. → Occelli Valeria 2017
Evidence¶
Occelli Valeria 2017¶
Occelli Valeria, Lacey Simon, Stephens Careese, Merabet Lotfi B., Sathian K. (2017). Enhanced Verbal Abilities in The Congenitally Blind. Experimental Brain Research. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5436932/
q2 · i3 · associational · r2
Correlational analyses across the entire participant group. Verbal memory at T3 correlated with age at "r = -.44, p = .03"; spatial memory showed the same correlation magnitude at its single timepoint.
"These showed that verbal memory tended to decline with age, significantly so at T3 (r = -.44, p = .03), as did spatial memory performance at the single timepoint that was tested (r = -.44, p = .03)."
