Squared multiple correlations (R2), beta weights (β) and zero-order correlation coefficients (r) for total reading times, and eight eye movement parameters for word reading, text reading and pseudoword reading.
Key: 1 = Participant 10 was excluded due to a highly increased mean (more than 3 standard deviations above the sample’s mean).
