q3 i? The path from effortful control to accuracy was significant (β = .27, p = .017), suggesting effortful control was associated with increased behavioral performance. → Quiñones-Camacho Laura E. 2019

In the same SEM model, "effortful control was associated with increased behavioral performance" on Stroop accuracy (β = .27, p = .017). Age also predicted accuracy (β = .36, p < .001).

"The path from effortful control to accuracy was significant (β = .27, SE = 6.82, p = .017), suggesting that effortful control was associated with increased behavioral performance."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Attentional focusing is the only effortful control subdomain associated with DLPFC activation when controlling for age and accuracy — related
• Greater parent-reported temperamental effortful control predicts less DLPFC activation during cognitive flexibility in preschoolers — related
• The effortful control–DLPFC activation model is specific to effortful control, not to negative affectivity or surgency — related
• The four effortful control subscales load onto a single latent factor in preschoolers — a broader claim this one bears on
