Comparisons to chance (.50) are significant, all p < .001.

a

Mean proportion looking to the target computed over 300 to 1800 ms from noun onset, including all target-initial and distracter-initial trials on which the parent reported the child understood the target word.

b

Mean latency (ms) to initiate a shift from the distracter to the target picture within 300 to 1800 ms from noun onset including only those trials on which the parent reported the child understood the target word.
