Note:
The reciprocal transform means that represents the model’s estimated effect for each of the predictors in words per second. A positive sign therefore indicates faster reading (more words per second) and a negative sign, slower reading. The 95% Bayesian credible interval (CrI) gives the range in which 95% of the model’s samples fell. Bayes factors are presented for a range of β priors including, from left to right: more informative than the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 0.1); the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 0.5); and more diffuse than the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 1). BF10 indicates the Bayes factor for the full model (1) against a reduced model (0). Bayes factors of less than 0.3 indicate evidence for the reduced model, while Bayes factors greater than 3.0 indicate evidence for the full model.
