Table 3 Univariate regressions. Univariate regression results for each outcome variable. All significant effects are presented with regression estimates. Non-significant intervention effects are also presented. Auditory selective attention is presented separately (see Table 6: Selective attention regression). P values for estimates are omitted since they are exactly the same as for the main effects.

From: A randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of two teaching methods on preschool children’s language and communication, executive functions, socioemotional comprehension, and early math skills
