Correlation coefficients (r-values) for circular–linear correlations between AM phase of tapping, and literacy and phonology measures, for trochaic and iambic sentences. For each variable, correlations were computed in three ways – across all participants (‘All’), across controls only (‘Con’) and across dyslexics only (‘Dys’). Correlation values highlighted in bold achieved p-values under .10.
