Latent growth curve model of cognitive change, with religious involvement. Values are standardized path coefficients. Dotted lines indicate non-significant paths (could be dropped without significant decrement in model fit). Residual longitudinal correlations between cognitive tests not shown for reasons of space; see Table A1. Note: i = latent intercept; s = latent slope; g = general factor of cognitive ability; Rav = Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices; VF = verbal fluency; LM = logical memory; Relig. Involve. = religious involvement (general factor); Educ. = years of education; SES = socioeconomic status. For sex, 0 = male and 1 = female.
