Note. PND = phonological neighborhood density; A-o-A = age-of-acquisition of word based on CDI normative data; Cons A-o-A = average age-of-acquisition of target consonants and consonant clusters; Pos Avg = average positional segment frequency; Biph Avg = average biphone frequency.
Significant predictors are marked with * and bolded.
