Table 4.

Descriptive statisticsfor the difference in the proportion of falling contours produced by each group and sex for each syntactic boundary comparison.

Note. The difference in the proportion of falling contours for each syntactic boundary comparison represents the proportion of falling contours in the first boundary minus the proportion of falling contours in the second boundary. M = mean. SE = standard error. n = number of observations.
