Notes: p < .05 for coefficients at or above .118 (2-tail probability). Nonverbal reasoning is WASI-Matrix Reasoning. Language is a composite score across Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI)-Vocabulary subtest and Woodcock Diagnostic Reading Battery-Listening Comprehension. Attentive Behavior is SWAN. Working Memory (WM)-Sentences and WM-Numbers, respectively, are Listening Recall and Counting Recall from the Working Memory Test Battery–Children. Phonological Processing is Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing-Sound Matching. Processing Speed is Woodcock Johnson III Visual Matching. Grade 2 Calculations is Single-Digit Addition. Grace 2 Word Problems is Story Problems. Grade 3 Calculations is a composite score across Single-Digit Addition Double-Digit Addition and Double-Digit Subtraction Tests. Word Problems is the Iowa Test of Basic Skills- Problem Solving and Data Interpretation. Pre-algebraic knowledge is the Pre-algebraic knowledge Test. Standard scores are mean=100 (SD=15) except Vocabulary and Nonverbal Reasoning (mean=50; SD=10), Phonological Processing (mean=10, SD=3), and Word Problems (normal curve equivalents).
