Notes. Effects (Trial, Experiment) were sum coded (i.e., levels of each factor were compared to the average). Maximal random effect structure was simplified until models converged. This model compares six-year-olds’ accuracy in production from Experiment 1 with accuracy in 2AFC in Experiment 2, with fixed effects of Trial type, Experiment (children from Experiment 1 and children from Experiment 2), and their interaction, along with random intercepts for subjects and items. Tests reaching statistical significance at the .05 criterion are marked in bold.
