Table 1: Factors influencing performance in the long delay task (Study 1).
Predictors from the full (best-fit) generalized linear mixed model examining trial-by-trial binary responses (correct or incorrect) in Study 1. All models included trial number, species, age cohort, and subject (as a random factor); session (learning versus test) and the species X cohort X session interaction were then added to successive models to test their importance as predictors. Reference values for predictors are indicated in the table.
| Factor | Estimate | S.E. | Z | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trial number (1–12) | 0.154 | 0.020 | 7.653 | < 0.0001 |
| Species (Bonobo reference) | 0.078 | 0.645 | 0.120 | > 0.90 |
| Cohort (Infant reference) | 0.384 | 0.609 | 0.631 | > 0.52 |
| Session (Learning reference) | 1.823 | 0.431 | 4.235 | < 0.0001 |
| Species X Cohort | −0.201 | 0.770 | −0.261 | > 0.79 |
| Species X Session | −0.700 | 0.525 | −1.332 | > 0.18 |
| Cohort X Session | −1.509 | 0.490 | −3.082 | < 0.005 |
| Species X Cohort X Session | 1.619 | 0.612 | 2.647 | < 0.01 |
