Synonyms Used in print (S. Idell Pyle, et al., Onsets, Completions, and...)The differences between onset age and completion age with_respect_to the corresponding mean age have been brought into juxtaposition by means of a series of arrows . The `` dot '' on one end of each arrow indicates extent of difference in months between the child 's onset age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center . The `` tip '' of the arrow represents extent of difference between the child 's completion age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center . The direction in which the arrow points shows how the maturity level of the growth center was changed at Completion from the level at Onset . The length of the arrow indicates amount of slowing or acceleration at Completion over that at Onset , and the difference in months can be read roughly by referring the arrow to the age scale along the base of each figure , or more precisely by referring to the original data in the appropriate tables . |
