Table 4.

Likelihood ratios for the percentage of correct non-words from the subgroup of three-, four- and five-syllable non-words in Children with SLI and TLD: samples from USA and Spain (Girbau & Schwartz, 2007)

	SLI		TLD

	Number	Proportion	Number	Proportion	Likelihood ratio
Children from USA
< 33.0 %	9	9/11 = 0.8182	1	1/11 = 0.0909	0.8182/0.0909 = 9.00
≥ 33.0 %	2	2/11 = 0.1819	10	10/11 = 0.9091	0.1819/0.9091 = 0.20
Children from Spain
≤ 50.0 %	11	11/11 = 1	1	1/11 = 0.0909	1/0.0909 = 11.00
> 50.0 %	0	0/11 = 0	10	10/11 = 0.9091	0/0.9091 = 0

Note. Data are based on: (a) 22 participants recruited in New York City, USA, (11 children with SLI and 11 children with TLD); and (b) 22 participants recruited in Castelló, Spain (11 children with SLI and 11 children with TLD; Girbau & Schwartz, 2007). These data from Spain are reported here to allow comparison between both studies.
