In the citing paper
“More broadly, self-regulation skills are associated with greater engagement in school, increased likelihood of graduating from college, and better health and wealth in adulthood”
From Malleability, plasticity, and individuality: How children learn and develop in context1 (2019) · cites this paper as Zelazo, 2015
In the citing paper
“For example, the iterative reprocessing model of EF skills assumes that EF development depends, at least in parts, on cognitive and neural processes associated with the reflection abilities of children (Zelazo, 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
