Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Cognitive Measures
See Tables 2 and 3 for description of measures, and Table 4 for model fit. Parameter estimates are from the completely standardized solution. Rectangular boxes represent observed variables, and ovals latent variables. Double-headed arrows to the right are factor correlations (cf. with Table 5). Numbers along the outside of the boxes are residual variances (e.g., .410 is the residual variance for the Elision measure). Paths from ovals to boxes are standardized regression parameter loadings (e.g., .768 is the loading of Elision on the Phonological Awareness factor; Phonological Awareness predicts 77% of the variance in the Elision measure).
