"The Matthew effect in empirical data" by Matjaz Perc: References supporting the Matthew effect in education
- A review done by Raizada & Kishyama, reference 85, looks specifically at the effects of socioeconomic status on brain development. The study draws on the Matthew effect, in particular as a potential triggering mechanism for a long-term self-reinforcing trend in training executive function in young children, with improved self control enabling greater attentiveness and learning, which would in turn help to make a child’s educational experiences more rewarding, therefore facilitating greater intellectual growth.
- Cohen et al,, references 157 and 158, have shown that even brief self-affirmation writing assignments aimed at reducing feelings of academic threat in ethnic minority high-school students had the effect of producing significant improvements in grade-point average, a potential indication that the Matthew effect might have caused this.
