q3 · i? · associational · r2

In the SEM model of the 93-child sample, visual-motor integration measured with a standardized test "proved to be a predictor of orthographic skills".

"visual-motor integration, which also proved to be a predictor of orthographic skills, was included in the model"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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