rates of
school completion and decreasing
rates of juvenile arrest.11 The authors conducted analyses to test
alternative hypotheses about the pathways from the short - term significant effects on children's educational achievement
at the end of preschool to these long - term effects, including (a) that the cognitive and language stimulation children experienced in the centres led to a sustained cognitive advantage that produced the long - term effects on the students» behaviour; or (b) that the enhanced parenting practices, attitudes, expectations and involvement in children's education that occurred early in the program led to sustained changes in the home environments that made them more supportive of
school achievement and behavioural norms, which in turn produced the long - term effects on the students» behaviour.
