post test 3. Separate analysis for each group revealed the same pattern, however the
differences were not significant.

Concluding remarks for the Short questions task

► The analysis of the short questions task (for both types of questions) revealed that the
Definition group performed significantly better than the other groups. Also, the
Lexical contrast group performed well on the world knowledge questions. All the
children improved their performance over time. Furthermore, they performed better
on the partially than the unknown words, whereas no differences were found in their
performance in the categorisation questions by semantic domain. On the other hand,
significant differences in children’s performance on the world knowledge questions
were found by semantic domain. Additionally, children with high baseline naming
and high baseline comprehension vocabulary performed better than children with low
baseline naming and low baseline comprehension vocabulary.
