With within-group standard deviations (SD) and 95% confidence intervals, calculated per Distribution Type and Standard Vowel.a
For the infants the alpha level for the confidence intervals is 2.5% instead of 5%, because the infant study included an additional group of sleeping infants. For details see [4].
