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.
q3 i? The relation between numerosity and computation was no longer significant after figure matching ability was added as a predictor in hierarchical regression. → Zhou X 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical multiple regression with 424 third- to fifth-grade children showed that after entering general cognitive factors and figure matching, numerosity comparison no longer predicted computational fluency. The article reports "the relation between numerosity and computation was no longer significant after figure matchin g ability was added as a predictor."
"Most relevant to our hypothesis, the relation between numerosity and computation was no longer significant after figure matchin g ability was added as a predictor. Figure matching ability accounted for a unique portion of the variance of computationa l fluency."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- General Cognitive Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Visual Processing — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

- Figure-matching ability correlates more strongly with numerosity processing and computational fluency than other cognitive factors — related

- General processing speed (choice reaction time and figure matching) does not significantly predict mathematics achievement in Grade 7 or Grade 9 — related
