Notes: Effects coding was used for the condition effects. The condition effects here refers to the change in the log odds of correct responding when given an object-extracted relative clause (0.5) opposed to subject-extracted (−0.5) and receiving a comprehension question that probed the relative clause region of the sentences (0.5) opposed to the main clause (−0.5). Random intercepts and slopes for all condition effects for both subjects and items were also included in the model. “VWM” = Verbal working memory span; “Inhib” = Inhibitory control; “Speed” = Perceptual speed; “Phon.” = Phonological ability; “Lang.” = Language experience.

These effects reached significance in the model if inhibitory control and its interactions were dropped.
