Abstract
Partitions associated with mock theta functions have received a great deal of attention in the literature. Recently, Choi and Kim derived several partition identities from the third- and sixth-order mock theta functions. In addition, three Ramanujan-type congruences were established by them. In this paper, we present some new congruences for these partition functions.
