Additional t tests compared metacognitive control of correct versus incorrect responses within each administration point, using the green-box/red-box maintenance-withdrawal procedure. The authors suggest detecting incorrect responses may develop later than detecting correct ones.

"it was easier for children to keep correct responses than to withdraw incorrect responses, t(227) = 7.16, p <.001, d = 0.47, for Time 0, and t(226) = 6.12, p <.001, d = 0.41, for Time 1."
