Table 5. Estimated percentages of gesturing (i.e., non-zero) subpopulations from ZIP model.

9-12 months 15-18 months


Gesture Type AU DD TD AU DD TD
SI 35% 58% 66% 46% 68% 75%
(n≈14.0) (n≈13.3) (n≈23.1) (n≈12.4) (n≈10.9) (n≈12.0)
BR 38% 53% 62% 52% 67% 74%
(n≈15.2) (n≈12.2) (n≈21.7) (n≈14.0) (n≈10.7) (n≈11.8)
JA 13% 43% 58% 45% 81% 89%
(n≈5.2) (n≈9.9) (n≈20.3) (n≈12.2) (n≈13.0) (n≈14.2)

Key: SI = Social Interaction; BR = Behavior Regulation; JA = Joint Attention

Note: The ZIP model estimates to number of participants in a given sub-population, and therefore the estimates do not translate to actual numbers of participants, but theoretical numbers of participants. The theoretical numbers of participants in the gesturing subpopulations are estimated in the parenthetical statements below the estimated percentages. These are the numbers that were utilized for all analyses conducted with the ZIP model.
