Children in the Analogy condition provided significantly more ifwιctionaΓ than
“perceptual” (immediate: Wilcoxon: Z= 2.7, p<.005; delayed: Wilcoxon: Z=2T. p<.005) and
“semantic” properties (immediate: Wilcoxon: Z= 3.3, p<.005; delayed: Wilcoxon: Z=3.9,
p<.0005) for both post tests. During the delayed post test, they provided sign' Ticantly more
“perceptual” than “semantic” properties (Wilcoxon: Z=3.2, p<.005).
Children in the Contrast condition provided significantly more “functional” than
“perceptual” (immediate: Wilcoxon: Z= 3.1, p<.005; delayed: Wilcoxon: Z=2.2, p<.05) and
“semantic” properties (immediate: Wilcoxon: Z= 3.6, p<.0005; delayed: Wilcoxon: Z=4.6,
p<.0000). During the delayed post test they provided significantly more “perceptual” than
“semantic” properties (Wilcoxon: Z= 3.6, p<.0005).
On the other hand, children in the Definition condition in the immediate post test provided
more “semantic” properties than the children in the other conditions. The differences were
not significant. During the delayed post test they children provided Signiilcantly more
perceptual than semantic properties (Wilcoxon: Z=4.3, p<.0000).
Key findings from the sentence generation task
To what extent does children ,s performance on the sentence generation task differ by age ?
• Significant correlations were found between children’s age and their performance on
the sentence generation task. The correlations were still significant, even when their
vocabulary and memory scores were controlled for.
• The older children performed better than the younger ones for both post tests. The
same pattern was found within each linguistic condition for both post :ests.
To what extent does children ,s performance on the sentence generation task differ by
linguistic condition?
• Significant differences by linguistic condition were found during the і n` mediate post
test. Post-hoc analysis indicated that the children in the Inference concl: 'on performed
significantly better than the children in the Analogy condition. The san e pattern was
found during the delayed post test, however the differences were not significant.
