Summary of the SP and MPT-Naming models’ naming response type predictions and parameter associations with independent behavioral data. The “predictive parameters” column lists the model parameters that were found to have the strongest association with the relevant data. All parameters were used when generating cross-validation predictions. For the multi-word repetition tests, the reported R2 is from a multiple regression model using both parameters as predictors. The reported t values are standardized β coefficients from logistic regression models. LexForm, calculated from the MPT-Naming abilities, is the relative likelihood that a Formal error on a given naming trial originated from a failure at the lexical versus the phonological selection stage.
