Figure 5.
Correlations between cognitive and comprehension variables, their corresponding canonical variates (i.e., cognitive and comprehension 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 comprehension variate reflects participants’ comprehension ability for the Good Dog Carl and Picnic stories. Note that some of the data presented here also appear in Table 4. *p < .05.
