Figure 2.
Cross-lagged path model of associations between block-building behaviors and structural complexity and spatial and math skills over time, including the Age 3 general vocabulary covariate. For simplicity, the covariate and its significant paths are not displayed. Single-headed arrows represent significant regression pathways, whereas double-headed arrows represent significant covariances. Non-significant paths and covariances are also not displayed for simplicity. Path estimates are shown on each arrow. Overall, the model has good fit, robust χ2(4) = 0.96, p = .917.
*p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001. Dotted lines indicate marginally-significant paths (p < .07)
