Notes: Effects coding was used for the condition effects. The condition effect here refers to the likelihood of answering yes to a comprehension question when it promoted the low attachment reading (0.5) opposed to the high attachment reading (−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.
