Note. Hearing group coded as cochlear implant = 1 and normal hearing = 0. Sex coded as male = 0 and female = 1. Estimates are unstandardized regression coefficients. Values in parentheses are 95% confidence interval. Values in bold are p < .05. Leiter-R = Leiter International Performance Scale–Revised; Nonverbal ability = Differential Ability Scales–Second Edition, Picture Similarities subtest T-score; PPVT-4 = Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test–Fourth Edition, standard score.

a

Compared to the reference group of $0–$50K.

b

Neither PPVT-4 nor Preschool Language Scale–Fourth Edition met entry criteria of p < .05 for entry into the equation predicting Leiter-R Attention Sustained or Leiter-R Forward Memory.
