Figure 2

A scatter plot (top) showing the relation between child gesture (a composite score of the gestures produced with the experimenter plus the increase in gestures produced with the child's caregiver) and child speech at follow-up (word types children produced with the caregiver two weeks after session 6); each symbol represents a child and his or her training condition: C&EG = Child produces own Gesture and sees Experimenter Gesture; EG = child produces no gesture but sees Experimenter Gesture; NG = child produces and sees No Gesture. The Indirect Effects analysis (bottom) shows that the experimental manipulation (Instruction-to-Gesture, C&EG) had an effect on child speech after training (Child-Speech-with-Caregiver-at-Follow-up), which was mediated by child gesture during training (Child-Gesture-Composite).
