Note. Complete model results are displayed in Supplemental Tables 8 through 23. All included cross-domain pathways are displayed, with black results being associated with a p-value < .05 after Benjamini-Hochberg correction and grey results being non-statistically significant. Standardized estimates are included only for statistically significant results and are calculated using within- or between-person residuals as appropriate. WJ = Woodcock-Johnson. Stand. Est. = standardized estimate. ~ indicates a covariance. → indicates a regression.
