Table 5.
Descriptive statistics for phonotactic diversity (number of different vocalization structures produced at least once every two minutes) and Mann-Whitney U results for comparisons of the Dup7 group to the LCAS, LSSD, and TD groups
Group | Mean | SD | Median | IQR | Range | z | p | Cohen’s d |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dup7 | 1.57 | 1.40 | 2.00 | 0.00–2.00 | 0.00–4.00 | |||
LCAS | 0.86 | 0.90 | 1.00 | 0.00–2.00 | 0.00–2.00 | −1.01 | .313 | 0.53 |
LSSD | 2.60 | 1.14 | 3.00 | 1.50–3.50 | 1.00–4.00 | −1.33 | .183 | 0.81 |
TD | 4.20 | 0.84 | 4.00 | 3.50–5.00 | 3.00–5.00 | −2.56 | .010 | 2.12 |
Note. Bolded p-value highlights a significant difference in comparison to the Dup7 group. Dup7 = 7q11.23 duplication syndrome; LCAS = later diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech; LSSD = later diagnosed with speech sound disorder other than childhood apraxia of speech; TD = typically developing; n = 10 for Dup7, 7 for LCAS, 5 for LSSD, 5 for TD.
