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? Visual processing was significantly related with mathematics and character reading at both measurement occasions. → Yang X and Meng X 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Correlational analysis across all variables at both time points (Table 2). Kindergarten visual processing correlated with T1 character reading (r = −0.23*), T1 calculation (r = −0.24**), T2 calculation (r = −0.24*), and T2 character reading (r = −0.32**); thresholds are reverse-scored. No standardized effect size framing is offered beyond the printed correlations.
"Table 2 demonstrates that visual processing was significantly related with mathematics and character reading either at senior kindergarten or at grade one."
