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 at senior kindergarten significantly explained 4% of additional variance in grade-one character reading beyond initial reading, nonverbal IQ, sustained attention, inhibitory control, age, and gender. → Yang X and Meng X 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression on the longitudinal sample (82 children followed 14 months from kindergarten to grade one). The article reports that visual processing "still significantly explained 4% of the variance in character reading" at step 4 (β = −0.20, t = −2.49, p < .05, Table 3); no standardized effect size is printed, so impact is null.
"after initial character reading at senior kindergarten was further controlled, visual processing still significantly explained 4% of the variance in character reading."
