Family-wise Bonferroni correction for 8 comparisons = 0.0063 (α = 0.05, 2-tailed).

practice slope = observed slope − predicted group GAM fit baseline developmental slope from baseline age to 1-yr followup age.

site effects measured against UCSD.

a

SES = socioeconomic status determined from the highest education of one parent.

b

NA: The mean developmental slope was nonmonotonic, whereas the practice slope was monotonic, resulting in invalid ratios.

c

NA: The mean developmental slope was nonmonotonic, whereas the average practice is negative and expected development is positive, resulting in invalid ratios.
