test. Figures 7.11 and 7.12 present the results for both sets of questions.

The previous figures show the same pattern as that shown in Table 7.11, nevertheless, to a
lower degree. In addition, comparison between the two sets of questions revealed that the
children performed significantly better in the “world knowledge" than the “categorisation"
questions across testing (Wilcoxon, Pl: Z=5.8, p<.0000; P2: Z= 4.7, p<.0000; P3: Z=8.1,
p<.0000).
Is there a differential impact of the type of exposure to new lexical items that the children
receive on their performance in the short questions task ?
Categorisation questions
Three separate One Way Analyses of Variance were carried out with group as the
independent variable and score in the categorisation questions as the dependent variables.
