TABLE 2.
Effects, standard errors, and bootstrapped confidence intervals of non-symbolic processing on residualized change scores in arithmetic between T1 and T4 (controlling for non-verbal intelligence, attention, verbal working memory, and symbolic magnitude processing at T1, contributing to the mediators and arithmetic performance).
