Subclaims¶

q3 i? Accuracy was significantly higher in the encoding phase than the recognition phase in both tasks in both experiments (e.g., word-object Wald-Type Statistic = 153.64, P < 0.001 in toddlers). → Peña 2024 q3 i? Accuracy increased across sessions only in the word-object task (Session × Task interaction) and only in the encoding phase (Session × Phase interaction). → Peña 2024 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Non-parametric longitudinal analysis of game accuracy in the toddler experiment (n=101 analyzed). "The accuracy was significantly higher for the encoding phase than the recognition phase" in both tasks; replicated in preschoolers (letter-sound WTS = 290.73; word-object WTS = 186.28, both P < 0.001).

"The accuracy was significantly higher for the encoding phase than the recognition phase (Fig. 2c) in both the letter-sound task (Wald-Type Statistic = 131.55, df = 1;P < 0.001) and the word-object task (Wald-Type Statistic = 153.64, df = 1;P < 0.001)."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Longitudinal game analysis in toddlers: "accuracy increased acrosssessions only in the word-object task" (WTS = 31.53, P < 0.001) and "accuracy increased across sessions only in the encoding phase" (WTS = 14.29, P = 0.014). Replicated in preschoolers for Session × Task (WTS = 22.96, P < 0.001).

"Session and Task interacted sig- nificantly, as accuracy increased acrosssessions only in the word-object task (Wald-Type Statistic = 31.53, df = 5; P < 0.001). Likewise, the interaction between Session and Phase revealed that the accuracy increased across sessions only in the encoding phase ( Wald-Type Statistic = 14.29, df = 5; P = 0.014)"
