Table 6.

Percentage of variance explained by AoA, subjective frequency (SUBJ), and imageability (IMA) in addition to the variance explained by word length and word frequency.

p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (determined with an ANOVA between the two models) in which model1 is Nlett + FREQ for AoA and SUBJ, and model1 = Nlett + FREQ + AoA for AoA + SUBJ and AoA + IMA, and model1 = Nlett + FREQ + AoA + IMA for the full model in the last row). Nlett, number of letters; FREQ, frequency; AoA, age-of-acquisition; SUBJ, subjective frequency; IMA, imageability. Cubic splines used for Nlett and FREQ.
