Standardized Parameter Estimates From the MIMIC Model, Visit 2 (N = 395, 2017–2019).

Step 1a: Differences in scores across groups using education in years

Group Estimate Standard error p value Cohen’s d
 Male sex −.069   .051   .176 0.019
 Age −.106   .052   .039 0.316
 Education   .324   .048 <.001 0.096
 Language −.086   .052   .095 0.024
Step 1b: Differences in scores across groups using WRAT scores

 Male sex −.060   .048   .212 0.016
 Age −.077   .049   .112 0.256
 WRAT   .477   .042 <.001 1.24
 Language −.061   .049   .213 0.017
Step 2: Language group differences across letter tasks

 Letter ‘‘F’’   .005   .035   .881
 Letter ‘‘A’’ −.005   .034   .873
 Letter ‘‘S’’   .001   .035   .986

Note.‘‘—’’ indicates not applicable. Step 2 was only conducted once across the two models because education and WRAT scores were not involved in assessing differential test effects. The effective sample size was 395, given that nine cases had missing values. WRAT = Wide Range Achievement Test.
