Note. Significant differences at p < .05 in bolded text. Independent-samples t test used for CELF-5 Formulated Sentences and Recalling Sentences number of attempts. Welch's two-sample t test used for all other variables. Overt = overt finiteness marking across structures; Omission of overt = omission of overt finiteness marking across structures.
