Reaction times plotted against RAU scores in the children with hearing loss (8A). Fig 8B shows boxplots of reaction times obtained in children older than or younger than 10 years of age (left and right panels), and categorized by their vocabulary (scores greater than or less than the median PPVT score, shown in the abcissa) for children with hearing loss listening to the four sets of materials (ADSF/CDSF, adult/child-directed speech, female talkers; ADSM/CDSM, adult/child-directed speech, male talkers). Lines indicate linear regression fits. Solid line – ADSF, dashed line – ADSM, dotted line – CDSF, two dashed line - CDSM.
