Table D2. Series of Likelihood Ratio Tests, Their AIC, and p Values (Experiment 1).

Model number	Fixed-effects structure	AIC	p (vs. Model no.)
Note. In this table, the fixed-effects structure gets progressively simpler at every step; a p value < .05 suggests that the better model fit is the one with the more complex fixed-effects structure out of the two models being compared; similarly, a p value > .05 suggests that it is the simpler fixed-effects structure that best describes the data. The fixed-effects structure of the best model fit is in boldface. AIC = Akaike’s information criterion (the smaller the AIC, the better the model fit; Wagenmakers & Farrell, 2004).
