Figure 5. Expected test scores based on the regression models for the DMS accuracy (total correct), accuracy overt (simultaneous), accuracy covert (all delay) conditions with maximum scores of 20, 5 and 15, respectively. All scores were stratified by age, but the accuracy (total) and accuracy covert (all delay) conditions are shown for higher level of parental education (LPE).
