Estimating Variances and Covariances
In the output path diagram, the numbers displayed next to the boxes are estimated
variances, and the numbers displayed next to the double-headed arrows are estimated
covariances. For example, the variance of recall1 is estimated at 5.79, and that of
place1 at 33.58. The estimated covariance between these two variables is 4.34.

The first estimate displayed is of the covariance between recall1 and recall2. The
covariance is estimated to be 2.56. Right next to that estimate, in the S.E
. column, is an
estimate of the standard error of the covariance, 1.16. The estimate 2.56 is an
