Note. M and SD represent mean and standard deviation. The mean of the monomorphemic, polymorphemic transparent and nontransparent can be interpreted as the proportion of the words that are classified as each. Mono = Monomorphemic; Poly = Polymorphemic; Trans = Transparent; SPTR = Spelling to pronunciation transparency rating; Complex WR = Complex word reading. Binary correlations are phi between Monomorphemic, polymorphemic transparent, and polymorphemic nontransparent; and binary-continuous point biserial between those predictors and the continuous variables.
