- 语音和语言病理学 语言病理学
- 量化心理学 量化心理学
背景情况:
- 听觉唤起的潜在年龄 (AEP年龄) 是听觉系统成熟的生物标志物.
- 以前的研究表明,AEP年龄预测了儿童的语言技能,但线性模型可能会掩盖个体差异.
- 了解听力成熟与语言联系的个体变异性对于有针对性的干预至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 通过使用量子回归来研究AEP-age对儿童语言技能的预测效用.
- 探索AEP年龄如何与整个分布的语言能力相关,而不仅仅是平均效应.
- 检查典型和神经多样性儿童的听觉成熟和语言技能之间的关系中的个体差异.
主要方法:
- 使用量子回归来分析AEP年龄和105名儿童 (7-10岁) 的语言技能.
- 包括典型发育和神经多样性的儿童,他们具有各种语言能力.
- 避免创建子组,分析语言技能的全部范围.
主要成果:
- 线性回归发现AEP年龄和语言技能之间没有显著的关联.
- 量子回归揭示了AEP年龄与语言技能之间的显著关联,特别是对于语言连续体中位点附近的儿童.

Language Development
317
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Percentile
6.5K
A percentile indicates the relative standing of a data value when data are sorted into numerical order from smallest to largest. It represents the percentages of data values that are less than or equal to the pth percentile. For example, 15% of data values are less than or equal to the 15th percentile.

Quartile
4.1K
Quartiles are numbers that separate the data into quarters. Quartiles may or may not be part of the data. To find the quartiles, first, find the median or second quartile. The first quartile, Q1, is the middle value of the lower half of the data, and the third quartile, Q3, is the middle value, or median, of the upper half of the data. To get the idea, consider the same data set:
1; 1; 2; 2; 4; 6; 6.8; 7.2; 8; 8.3; 9; 10; 10; 11.5
The median or second quartile is seven. The lower half of the...

Cochran's Q Test
223
Cochran's Q Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there are potential differences in the outcomes of three or more related groups on a binary (yes/no) or dichotomous outcome. It is essentially an extension of the McNemar Test, which is limited to two related samples - Cochran's Q test can handle three or more related samples, making it more versatile in scenarios where subjects are measured under multiple conditions. The test statistic follows a Chi-Square...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test
1.5K
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...
