Performance differences across different stimuli sets, for the model and the children

	Recoded chunks	Chunk differential	Children’s performance	Performance differential
Digit span vs. word span	4.31 vs. 5.38	20%	6.23 vs. 4.97	20%
Isolated digits vs. isolated words	31.00 vs. 31.00	0%	6.40 vs. 6.77	5%
Digit sequences vs. word sequences	47.00 vs. 55.00	15%	4.63 vs. 4.07	12%
WL nonwords vs. NWL nonwords	2.93 vs. 3.83	23%	43.23 vs. 35.21	19%
HPP nonwords vs. LPP nonwords	3.33 vs. 4.33	23%	38.23 vs. 32.19	16%
Sentence recall, high CELF vs. low CELF	5.96 vs. 7.38	19%	29.87 vs. 18.75	37%

WL = wordlike; NWL = nonwordlike; HPP = high phonotactic probability; LPP = low phonotactic probability
