Table 2.
Pretraining reading measures averaged over the two pretraining time-points (t1 and t2) for patient and control groups
| Measure | Patients mean (SD) | Controls mean (SD) | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texts, speed (wpm) | 63.4 (32.0) | 174.2 (25.7) | 8.1*** |
| Texts, accuracy (%) | 95.2 (3.7) | 99.2 (0.7) | 3.2** |
| Words, speed (ms/word) | 1308 (512) | 497 (78) | 4.7*** |
| Words, accuracy (%) | 91.0 (9.3) | 99.1 (0.6) | 2.7* |
| Word length effect (ms/letter) | 173 (157) | 1.12 (9.4) | 3.3** |
| Letters, speed (ms/letter) | 775 (321) | 370 (77) | 3.7** |
| Letters, accuracy (%) | 99.0 (2.0) | 99.8 (0.3) | 1.4 |
Standard deviations are given in brackets.
T-statistics are reported from paired-subjects t-tests comparing patients and controls.
Wpm = words per minute.
*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
n = 9 in each group.
