However, using ANCOVA to covary for WISC PRI scores and the number of retained trials attenuated the main effect of diagnostic group such that it no longer approached significance, F (1,47) = 1.98, p = 0.17, though further covarying for hearing thresholds decreased the p -value slightly, F (1,44) = 2.93, p = 0.09.
