Goodness of fit indices for the alternative models of structural relations among language, drawing, general executive functioning, and age.
| Model | χ2 | df | p | GFI | CFI | RMSEA | SRMR | AIC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A (only relations with age) | 37.00 | 18 | <0.01 | 0.89 | 0.92 | 0.12 | 0.11 | 73.00 |
| B (two beta parameters added) | 19.01 | 16 | >0.26 | 0.94 | 0.98 | 0.049 | 0.054 | 59.01 |
| C (two nonsignificant gamma parameters dropped) | 19.03 | 18 | >0.38 | 0.94 | 0.99 | 0.027 | 0.056 | 55.03 |
| D (language affects executive function) | 20.91 | 18 | >0.28 | 0.94 | 0.99 | 0.046 | 0.056 | 56.91 |
