Path diagram showing the effects of the VPA intervention on an Executive Function (EF) latent variable. All coefficients are standardized except for the path coefficient for Group which is y-standardized (equivalent to Cohen’s d). The 95% robust (Huber-White) confidence interval (CI) is shown for the Group coefficient. The stratification variable (school gender-type, dummy coded) was included as a set of additional covariates but they are not shown in the model. The following correlations between residuals were included in the model (t0 = pretest, t1 = posttest): Flankerincon, t0 with Flankerincon,t1 (0.34), Flankercon,t0 with Flankercon, t1 (0.29), Switchnsw, t0 with Switchnsw, t1 (0.09), Flankercon, t0 with Flankerincon, t0 (0.39) Switchnsw, t0 with Switchsw, t0 (0.074), Flankerincon, t1 with Flankercon, t1 (0.41), 2-backt1 with 2-backt0 (0.38), but are not shown in the diagram. Abbreviations: EF = executive function, incon = incongruent, con = congruent, nsw = non-switch, sw = switch
