Table 2: Factors influencing performance in the multiple locations task (Study 2).
Predictors from the full (best-fit) linear mixed model examining number of test versus control pieces located in Study 2. All models included species, age cohort, and subject (as a random factor); location (test versus control) and a species X cohort X location 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. | t | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Species (Bonobo reference) | 0.190 | 0.304 | 0.626 | > 0.53 |
| Cohort (Infant reference) | 0.105 | 0.310 | 0.339 | > 0.73 |
| Location Type (Control reference) | 1.077 | 0.303 | 3.554 | < 0.001 |
| Species X Cohort | 0.004 | 0.411 | 0.010 | > 0.99 |
| Species X Location Type | −0.696 | 0.386 | −1.805 | = 0.075 |
| Cohort X Location Type | −0.551 | 0.393 | −1.400 | > 0.16 |
| Species X Cohort X Location Type | 1.920 | 0.521 | 3.686 | < 0.001 |
