Incidence is presented as participant count; percent of total sample (N = 168). Statistics are presented as mean (standard deviation). “Plural > possessive” refers to participants whose plural performance was significantly greater than their possessive performance. “Plural < possessive” refers to participants whose plural performance was significantly less than their possessive performance. “Plural = possessive” refers to those who did not demonstrate a statistical difference in plural and possessive performance. Statistical significance was determined by Fisher’s exact tests.
