Note. Variable means and SD given in raw metric for ease of interpretation. Skewness and kurtosis are reported for transformed variables; to reduce skewness, accuracy measures (antisaccade, keep track, letter memory, spatial 2-back) were arcsine transformed, switch costs were square-root transformed, and stop signal SSRT was natural log transformed. Note that BRIEF-SR and EATQ-R manifest scale and subscale scores were not used in the CFA analyses (all indicators were individual items), and are reported here only for comparison with other samples. BRIEF-SR = Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Self-Report; GEC = Global Executive Composite (total BRIEF-SR score); WM = working memory; EATQ-R = Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire Revised; EC = effortful control (EATQ-R total score).
