  • An experimental intervention study using reflection training found that children receiving the reflection training substantially improved their EF skills compared to control groups.

    “Compared to the control groups, children receiving the reflection training substantially improved their EF skills (Espinet et al., 2013).”

  • There seems to be a link between EF skills and the recruitment of the lateral PFC, with better EF skills being associated with reflection, slower responding and a down-regulation of ACC activation.

    “Crucially, there seems to be a link between EF skills and the recruitment of the lateral PFC, with better EF skills being associated with reflection, slower responding and a down-regulation of ACC activation (Espinet et al., 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
