Notes. Ilr = play behavior composite variable; X2 = chi-square value; df = degrees of freedom; Pr (>X2) = probability of observed chi-square statistic that indicates whether the regression coefficient is not equal to zero in the model; * significant association with the FMS outcomes (p < 0.05). All models included preschool as a random factor to account for nesting of participants.
