Note: PPVT-IV = Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-IV; KABC-II = Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-II; BASC-II = Behavior Assessment System for Children-II. PPVT-IV, Number Recall, Statue, and ACPT-P variables all listed as raw scores. Mean response time and variability are reported in milliseconds. BASC-II scores are T-scores;
