Maternal education was a marginally significant predictor of language ability at baseline (Estimate = 0.133, SE = 0.077, z = 1.733, p = 0.083) and a highly significant predictor of developmental change in language ability (Estimate = 0.300, SE = 0.106, z = 2.819, p = 0.005).

The intercept of theta power became a marginally nonsignificant predictor of the slope of language (Estimate = –3.824, SE = 2.116, z = –1.808, p = 0.071).

marginally significantno p-value reported

A marginally significant positive association was also found with 36‐month verbal skills, which varied by outcome group (EL‐autism, EL‐no autism and TL) but was significant for the group who later developed autism.
