Mediation model controlled for age and sex.

“BC 95% CI” refers to the bias-corrected confidence intervals. The mediate effect is significant at the 0.05 level of significance.

β, standardized regression coefficient; SE, standard error; CI, confidence interval; lRMFG, left rostral middle frontal gyrus; GDDS-language, language scores for the Gesell Developmental Diagnosis Scale.
