NVESTIGATING LEXICAL ACQUISITION PATTERNS: CONTEXT AND COGNITION



As the above diagram shows, during post test 2 the children performed significantly better
on the multiple choice than the other tasks. They performed significantly better on the
association task than the other tasks. In addition they performed significantly better on the
definition than the contrast task. They performed significantly better on the contrast and
short questions (world knowledge questions) than the short questions (categorisation
questions) and story generation task (see Table in Appendix 7.14 for statistical
comparisons).The following Diagram presents children’s success in the tasks during post test
3.
