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? No significant group×time interaction emerged for any academic task; a post-hoc t-test showed only a marginal difference in the Number Conservation Task (K3), t = 1.85, p = 0.067, favouring the experimental group. → Honoré N 2020
q3 i? Post-test comparison in number conservation: experimental 1.31 ± 1.71 vs control 0.79 ± 1.33. → Honoré N 2020 (2)
Evidence¶
Honoré N 2020¶
Honoré N, Houssa M, Volckaert A, Noël M-P and Nader-Grosbois N (2020) Training Inhibition and Social Cognition in the Classrooms. Front. Psychol. 11:1974. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01974
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Repeated-measures ANOVAs on language (K3 and P1), number conservation, additions (K3) and arithmetic problems (P1) found no significant group×time interaction; equivalence was not tested.
"The repeated-measures analyses revealed no significant interaction effect between test time and group for any of the tasks assessing academic learning ( Table 7 )."
Honoré N 2020 (2)¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Post-hoc independent-samples t-tests on post-test scores, justified by equivalent pre-test performance; only the K3 number conservation comparison was marginal (t = 1.85, p = 0.067), with no effect size printed.
"indicate a marginal difference between the two groups in the Number Conservation Task (K3), with a higher score in the experimental group (1.31 ± 1.71) than in the control group (0.79 ± 1.33)."
