Stepwise regression outcomes using malapropism recognition scores as the dependent measure, for each group separately.

Step	NH		HA		CI
Step 1	Vocabulary	β = .467, p = .001	Vocabulary	β = .673, p = .002	Phonological awareness	β = .688, p < .001
Step 2	Vocabulary	β = .400, p = .003	Vocabulary	β = .475, p = .021	Phonological awareness	β = .520, p < .001
	Phonological processing	β = .329, p = .012	Oral narrative	β = .409, p = .042	Vocabulary	β = .402, p < .001

Note. NH = children with normal hearing; HA = children with hearing aids; CI = children with cochlear implants.
