In particular, each specific set of predictors is used to predict the target behavior as well as all the other non-target behaviors. The variances explained by the “specific” predictions (i.e., reading predicted by predictors in the reading fluency model etc.) are marked in bold. For comparison, the variances accounted for by the general cognitive factors model are also presented.
