---|---|---|---|
VABS-II Adaptive Behavior Composite | 83.4 (18.00) | 103.6 (17.81) | <.001 |
VABS-II Communication | 82.2 (15.17) | 101.1 (17.78) | <.001 |
VABS-II Socialization | 85.0 (21.86) | 102.1 (19.15) | <.001 |
VABS-II Daily Living Skills | 89.2 (20.15) | 106.6 (19.03) | <.001 |
WISC-IV FSIQ | 84.3 (16.40) | 100.0 (17.81) | <.001 |
Note: Groups significantly differed on all measures. Groups comprised alcohol-exposed (AE) or nonexposed control (CON) subjects. Communication was measured by the Communication standard score from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales – Second Edition (VABS-II); Socialization was measured by the Socialization standard score from the VABS-II; Daily Living Skills was measured by the Daily Living Skills standard score from the VABS-II; the Adaptive Behavior Composite standard score from the VABS-II combines the three domain specific scores (Communication, Socialization, Daily Living Skills); general intelligence was measured by the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) standard score from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fourth Edition (WISC-IV).
