Child and parent age, as well as child sex and parent’s self-reported gender, was collected. Country of residence, parent’s ethnicity and number of children in household were also confirmed. To provide an indication of socioeconomic class, participants’ postcodes, monthly income and the occu...
we assessed the vocabulary knowledge of the participants as a proxy for their linguistic knowledge. There is evidence for a robust correlation between children’s grammar complexity and vocabulary size during the early stages of language development (Bates et al., 1988,Dale, Dionne, Eley, & Plomin...
Correlation analyses: Conceptually similar to the negative controls approach above, when a sample is selected, all the features that influenced selection become correlated within the sample (except for the highly unlikely case that causes are perfectly multiplicative). Testing for correlations amongst hyp...
For each of the significant associations, we computed the partial correlation and found a positive association (positive correlation coefficient) from MPB to NT in every metropolitan area, indicating that an increase in MPB would translate into an increase of NT throughout the country (Table 2). ...
We examine why exactly it is that a message cannot be sent into the past and received there using quantum physics, yet certain anomalous correlations can make it appear just that way. To accomplish this, we must first explore more deeply the usual concepts of superposition, entanglement, ...
Bone marrow fibrosis represents an important structural change in the marrow that interferes with some of its normal functions. The aetiopathogenesis of fibrosis is not well established except in its primary form. The present review consolidates current
In this Review, we focus on studies in humans to describe these challenges, and propose strategies that leverage existing knowledge to move rapidly from correlation to causation, and ultimately to translation. 展开 DOI: 10.1038/nm.4517 被引量: 47 ...
