Accuracy check preceding the RT analyses of the faces task in ninety 8-year-olds. The article reports that an initial RT analysis indicated no main effect or interactions for gender, so data were collapsed across gender.

"Mean accuracy for all conditions in the faces task ranged from 97% to 98%, with no difference between language groups or gender, Fs < 1."
