†Age cutoffs refer to the age at which the younger group ends. An age cut-off of 3 indicates a younger group of 3 months old and an older group of 4–11 months old, an age cut-off of 4 indicates a younger group of 3–4 months old and an older group of 5–11 months old, an age cut-off of 5 indicates a younger group of 3–5 months old and an older group of 6–11 months old.
