Auditory cognitive abilities correlated with the extent of phase distinctions in neural responses to /ga/ and /ba/ formant transitions in school-aged children and adults

	Phase difference
	Formant transition	Steady-state vowel
Auditory working memory
Children	0.40 (<0.05)	0.24 (0.25)
Adults	0.39 (<0.05)	0.18 (0.35)
Visual working memory
Children	−0.10 (0.64)	−0.15 (0.45)
Adults	−0.08 (0.75)	0.01 (0.97)
Auditory attention
Children	−0.62 (<0.001)	−0.31 (0.12)
Adults	−0.49 (<0.05)	0.20 (0.45)
Visual attention
Children	−0.09 (0.66)	0.02 (0.94)
