Figure 3. Phonological errors broken down by syllable position.

There was a significant decrease in the number of correct responses over the course of each word. This effect was driven by significant increases in syllable deletion and syllable addition across syllables 1–4. There were no significant effects of syllable position on phoneme-related phonological errors (“Vow” = vowels, “Con” = consonants). Asterisks represent statistical significance at P < 0.05 (Bonferroni corrected).
