Adding L2-WMC in the second step of the analysis explained a nearly statistically significant part of the variance (6%) not explained by L2 listening comprehension in the short reverberation time condition, Δ R = 0.06, β = 0.26, t = 1.94, p = 0.059.

WMC was also related to the effect of reverberation (although just barely significant), but the effect of WMC was eliminated when baseline L2 proficiency was statistically controlled.
