Pause Variables that Significantly Predict Cortical Thickness.

Note: Cortical atrophy in the highlighted regions was predicted by 1) pause rate by lexical category (a tendency to pause before nouns vs. verbs), 2) pause rate by word length (a tendency to pause before longer vs. shorter words), and/or 3) pause length by word frequency (a tendency to pause before lower vs. higher frequency words). In the non-highlighted regions, pause variables did not predict cortical thickness. *The effect of word length in the precentral gyrus is marginally significant (p =.051).
