Notes: Effects coding was used for condition effects. Condition effects here refer to the change in residual reading time when sentences were ambiguous (0.5) opposed to unambiguous (−0.5) and DO-biased (0.5) opposed to SC-biased (−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.
