Notes. Behavioral performance for the SC task and SST. SC task results show struggling readers were significantly slower, t(70.87) = 5.60, FDR-corrected P < .001, and less accurate, t(78.21) = −6.60, FDR-corrected P < .001, than the nonstruggling readers; SST results show the groups were significantly different on “Go” accuracy, t(81.15) = −4.34, FDR-corrected P < 0.001; SC = sentence comprehension task; SST = stop-signal task; RT = response time; CI = confidence interval; s = seconds; ms = milliseconds; *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001.
