q3 i? Among controls, processing speed correlated with SAS-II scores (r = -.43), but this was no longer significant after accounting for IQ (r = -.41, p = .061). → Haigh Sarah M. 2018

Correlational analysis in healthy control participants; SAS-II data were available for only 23 controls, and the article reports the partial correlation "r (21) = − .41, p = .061". The authors state these control correlations should be regarded with caution due to small available samples.

"once IQ was accounted for, the relationship between processing speed and SAS-II scores was no longer significant, r (21) = − .41, p = .061"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Processing Speed — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Processing speed in adults with ASD shows no significant association with SAS-II social adjustment, and only a near-significant positive association with GAF functioning — related
