Table 3.

Characteristics of deaf participants who performed above chance on the rhyme task and their hearing control group: mean (s.d.) [range] of age, NVIQ (shortened version of Advanced Progressive Matrices - APM), reading level (Gates-McGinitie reading test) and education level. Deaf and hearing participants did not differ on sex (3 male each group), age, NVIQ or education level (p’s >.1). However, hearing participants were better readers than deaf participants (p<.02)*.

	Age (months)	NVIQ (APM) (max=12)	Reading raw score (max=93)*	Education level (max=7)
Deaf (n=9)	403 (127) [255-677]	6.4 (3.1) [3-12]	81.1 (9.4) [63-93]	5.7 (3.1) [4-7]
Hearing (n=9)	349 (105) [231-549]	6.7 (3.4) [3-10]	90.1 (1.8) [87-92]	5.6 (0.73) [5-7]
