q2 · i? · associational · r1

One-way ANOVA on correct spellings across the five Nunes et al. stages in the 51-child sample showed a "main effect for stage"; Scheffé tests located differences between stage 1 and stages 2-5 and between stage 2 and stages 4-5, suggesting two main ability steps.

"A one-way ANOVA was computed on the number of correct spellings at each stage indicating a main effect for stage, F (4, 46) = 37.33, p < .05"
