Significant partial correlations are marked in bold with p value significance threshold defined as ≤ .020 after correcting for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure:
p <.02;
p <.01;
p <.001.
Variables of interest are been color-coded as follows: LUQ measures in yellow, category and letter fluency tasks in green, and language assessments in orange.
L2 AoA = L2 Age of Acquisition; NS-L1 = No Switch, L1; NS-L2 = No Switch, L2; SS = Self-Switch; FS = Forced Switch; LF-L1 = L1 letter fluency composite score; LF-L2 = L2 letter fluency composite score; L1 PALPA = PALPA composite score, L1; L2 PALPA = PALPA composite score, L2; L1 BAT = BAT composite score, L1; L2 BAT = BAT composite score, L2; PAPT: Pyramids and Palm Trees test.
