Note. L1 = first language, MOE = months of exposure to English. Inflectional morpheme score was calculated as the number of correct responses divided by the number of scorable attempts on the 3[-s] and PAST [-ed] probes combined. A zero score does not mean the child could not respond to the task, but that their scorable responses did not result in any correct use of inflection. Dari is closely related to Farsi.
