Table 3. Stepwise multiple regression for variables predicting nonword concreteness.

Step 1 Step 2
Variable Beta SE âstan Beta SE âstan
N-Syllables −7.46 .62 −.77 −4.46 .91 −.46
Wordlikeness 2.59 .61 .40
R2 .59 .66
F-Value & Df 143.17 (2,99) 93.10 (2,99)
P-Value <.001 <.001

Note: Beta reflects the unstandardized beta coefficient; âstan reflects the standardized beta coefficient. Predictors included in Step 1: N-Syllables; Step 2: N-Syllables, Wordlikeness; Variables excluded from the final model: phonological neighborhood density; morphology; single segment phonotactic probability; cumulative biphone phonotactic probability; N-consonant clusters; syllable stress placement.
