Table 1.

Mixed-effects logistic regression models on the odds of children learning through a specific learning process.

Odds of children using imitative learning (model 1), observational learning (model 2), practicing a skill (model 3), being taught (model 4), and play-practicing (model 5) with respect to sex and age. All models control for the focal child’s ID. N = 449 entries for 34 focal children. Data on 6 participants were not included in the models because we did not have age estimates for those participants.
