REG, regular words; IRR, irregular words; PW, pseudowords; Acc, accuracy; T, time; SSS, stimulus set size; AVG, average measure of the search performance across the three stimuli set sizes.

^*p < 0.05,

^**p < 0.01,

^***p < 0.005, one-tailed based on the a priori hypothesis of a relation between reading deficits and poor search performance.
