TL;DR: It is proposed that it is misguided and generally unjustified to attempt to control for IQ differences by matching procedures or, more commonly, by using IQ scores as covariates.

TL;DR: The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function showed a strong relationship with interviews and other parent rating measures of behaviors seen in ADHD, and future attempts to validate the BRIEF should focus on differences within subtypes of ADHD (e.g., inattentive, combined subtypes), and separating ADHD from other clinical groups in which EF is reported to be a problem.

TL;DR: Some support for a simplified approach to measuring SES was found and reliability was high, but the weakest agreement across measures was found when families had one wage earner who was female.

TL;DR: The authors found that phonological measures contribute more of the variance to those aspects of reading skill that involve decoding or word attack skills, while naming speed measures contributed more to skills involved in word identification.

TL;DR: Students who received the researcher-provided intervention scored significantly higher than students who received comparison intervention on measures of word attack, spelling, the state accountability measure, passage comprehension, and phonemic decoding efficiency, although most often in particular subgroups.
