For age, the numbers are mean years for training and non-training groups with dyslexia and control. For the Raven, the numbers are mean percentiles for each group of participants. For reading fluency, the numbers represent means of items that each group of participants answered correctly. For Chinese character recognition, the numbers are the numbers of characters children could use correctly in word composition.
