Table 1. Weights for subtests in calculating composite scores chosen for examination of profile effects.

Basic vocab.						1/2			1/2
Picture naming						1

Note: To understand the weights, consider an example: the “basic reading” measure used in this research is composed of word attack (WA) and letter word (LW), each with a weighting of one-half. Another way to put it is that the basic reading score is the average of the LW and WA scores. Similarly, half of the read & write measure is composed of passage comprehension, whereas the other half is composed equally of proofreading and dictation (one-quarter each). Figures 3-6 plot the composite scores. The first column lists the composite scores in order of highest to lowest mean scores obtained in bilinguals (averaged across all conditions in both languages). The paper analyzes profile effects as pairwise difference scores between composite scores (e.g., basic reading vs. basic vocabulary) obtained for each group of children examined.
