Note:

Measures (standard scores are reported).

a13 FHD+/12 FHD− (3 children did not finish all testing).

b13 FHD+/14 FHD− (1 child did not finish all testing).

c14 FHD+/13 FHD− (1 child did not finish all testing).

d12 FHD+/10 FHD− (6 children did not finish all testing).

eParental Education scores are calculated according to the 7-point Hollingshead Index Educational Factor Scale, summed for husband and wife and divided by 2.

fScale where 1 = 0–5000$, 2 = 5000–11 999$, 3 = 12 000–15 999$, 4 = 16 000–24 999$, 5 = 25 000–34 999$, 6 = 35 000–49 900$, 7 = 50 000–74 999$, 8 = 75 000–99 999$, 9 = 100E000+ $, 10 = do not know, 11 = no response.

*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; 2-tailed t-test; all other t-tests nonsignificant at threshold of P = 0.05.
