paired samples) revealed that the differences were significant for each group (see Table 7.5).
On the other hand, there were no significant differences between the groups in each test.

7.4.2.1 The Production measures
7.4.2.1.1 Naming Task
Scoring criteria for the naming task
Each child had to answer four questions. Each response was scored 1 for correct and 0 for
incorrect. To be scored correct, the response had to be the accurate production of the target
word. Any other response was scored as incorrect. Each child could get a score from 1- 4. An
error analysis was also carried out (see in later section).
Analysis
Figure 7.1 below shows the number of correct responses of the different groups across
testing. There was a maximum group score of 104.The Control, Phonological control and
Ostensive definition group performed at a very low level, while the Lexical contrast and
Definition group performed better than the others.

Is there a differential impact of the type of exposure to new lexical items that the children
receive in their performance on the naming task?
Three One Way Analyses of Variance (for the three post tests) were carried out to test group
differences. Each time, group was the independent variable and score on the naming task was
197
