Effect of text exposure on structure choice in adults: Results of mixed-effects logistic model (Jaeger, 2008) predicting structure choice of object relative (reference group) or passive relative by animacy of the target noun and text exposure, both centered.
| Coefficient | SE | z | p | Random Slope | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 1.94 | 0.47 | 4.09 | < 0.001* | |
| Animacy | 4.31 | 0.55 | 7.81 | < 0.001* | s, i* |
| Text Exposure | 0.21 | 0.10 | 2.13 | < 0.05* | |
| Animacy * TE | −0.14 | 0.12 | −1.24 | < 1 | |

This and all models contained random intercepts for subjects (s) and items (i). Random slopes were selected to build the fullest model that converged.
