Note: DS: The Digit Span task. LNS: The Letter-Number Sequencing task.
Verbal+Performance+Achieve: Summary scores of the four WISC-R Verbal subscales, four WISC-R Performance subscales, and the total standard scores of Chinese and Mathematics achievement tests. STS: Short-Term Storage. Add. Ctrl: Additional Attention Control of the Digit Span task. G: The general factor of the Verbal, Performance, and the Achievement Total summary scores. GAC: The General Attention Control factor. MS: The Mental Sorting factor. BO: The Back-Ordering factor. Models with continuous indicators do not yield the chi-square (L2) index, and the L2-based bootstrapped p values for model fit are thus not available for models with the continuous Verbal, Performance, and Achieve indicators. As a result, the L2-based bootstrapped p values (displayed in parentheses) were only provided for the besting fitting DS, LNS, and DS+LNS models. All Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) indexes obtained for model selections were derived from the log-likelihood (LL) values.
