Fig. 4From: How a picture becomes a word: individual differences in the development of language-mediated visual searcha Observed relationship between visual memory (z-score) and the relative duration of competitor fixations (competitor—control) for children with high (left) or low (right) inhibitory control and high (solid) or low (dashed) language ability. Positive values indicate longer looks to competitor than control objects. b Observed (dots) and predicted (grid) relative competition by visual memory and language ability for children with high (left) or low (right) inhibitory control. Redder shades indicate greater competition. Children with better language ability (i.e., larger vocabularies) generally experienced greater phonological competition, especially when combined with lower visual memory and lower inhibitory controlBack to article page
