Particularly, during post test 2, the Definition group performed significantly better than the
Ostensive definition (Wilcoxon: Z=5.8, p<.0005) and the Lexical contrast group (Wilcoxon:
Z=5.2, p<.0005). During post test 3 the Definition group provided significantly more
definitions than the Control (Wilcoxon: Z=2.4, p<.05) and the Phonological control
(Wilcoxon: Z=5.4, p<.0000) and the experimental groups (Wilcoxon: Z=4.6, p<.0000; Z=
4.07, p<.0000). In addition the Lexical contrast group provided significantly more definitions
than the Control (Wilcoxon: Z=2.4, p<.05) and the Phonological control group (Wilcoxon:
Z=2.4, p<.05). Diagram 7.3 demonstrates the significant differences between the groups.

Does children 's provision of definitions increase with increased exposure to the lexical
items?
All the children provided significantly more definitions during post test 2 than post test 1
(Wilcoxon: Z=2.1, p<.05), more definitions during post test 3 than post test 2 (Wilcoxon:
Z=3.4, p<.0005) and post test 1 (Wilcoxon: Z=3.4, p<.4.8, p<.0000). In addition all the
experimental groups provided more definitions over time.
Particularly, the Ostensive definition group during post test 3 provided significantly more
definitions than in post test 1 (Wilcoxon: Z=2.2, p<.05) and post test 2 (Wilcoxon: Z=2.4,
p<.05). The Lexical contrast group provided significantly more definitions in post test 3 than
in post test 1 (Wilcoxon: Z=2.8, p<.005) and Post test 2 (Wilcoxon: Z=2.4, p<.05). The
Definition group provided significantly more definitions in post test 2 than in post test 1
