Subclaims¶

q3 i? Responses in the pseudo-interactive condition showed a significantly lower type-token ratio than those in the interactive condition (t = 3.371, p = .001), reflecting children repeating answers during the programmed pause. → Ying Xu 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Type-token ratio analysis of children's responses in the two question-receiving conditions; the article reports pseudo-interactive responses "were more likely to contain repetitions, as children repeated their own answers during the pseudo-interactive character's programmed pause". No effect size printed.

"responses collected in the pseudo-interactive condition showed a significantly lower type-token ratio than those in the interactive condition (t = 3.371, p = .001)"
