q3 i? In exploratory analyses, child IQ, child sex, and parental income did not predict the intercept or linear slope of task-based inhibitory control. → Fosco 2019

Evidence¶

Fosco 2019¶

Fosco, W. D., Hawk, L. W. Jr., Colder, C. R., Meisel, S. N., & Lengua, L. J. (2019). The development of inhibitory control in adolescence and prospective relations with delinquency. Journal of Adolescence. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2019.08.008

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Exploratory analyses within the latent growth curve models of SST performance in the 387-family sample. No statistically significant predictors of initial level or rate of change were found; equivalence was not tested. For parent-reported inhibitory control, however, girls, higher-IQ teens, and higher-income families had higher age-11 scores.

"Child IQ, sex, and parental income did not predict initial levels (intercept) or growth (linear slope) of task-based inhibitory control, all ps>.24"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• General Cognitive Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
