Correlations between cognitive and production variables, their corresponding canonical variates (i.e., cognitive and production composites), and the first pair of canonical variates for the older adults group. Cognitive measures (i.e., GM Raw, WM Raw, STROOP, CTMT) are combined linearly to create a composite variate that generally reflects participants’ cognitive ability (first cognitive variate). The first production variate reflects the ability to convey story elements for the Good Dog Carl and Picnic stories. Note that some of the data presented here also appear in Table 4. GM Raw = Wechsler Memory Scale—III, General Memory index raw score; WM Raw = Wechsler Memory Scale—III, Working Memory index raw score; STROOP = Stroop Color and Word subtest; CTMT = Comprehensive Trail Making Test. **p < .01.
