Figure 1
Error rates (in %) from Experiment 1 in the different conditions (Affix Status × Position) by age group. The upper row shows the distribution of the data, with boxplots indicating medians and interquartile ranges; the points represent by-subject means. In the bottom row, the points refer to the means by condition, while the error bars show the standard errors of the mean calculated at the trial-level.

Figure 2
Response times (in ms) from Experiment 1 in the different conditions (Affix Status × Position) by age group. The upper row shows the distribution of the data, with boxplots indicating medians and interquartile ranges; the points represent single data points. In the bottom row, the points refer to the means by condition, while the error bars show the standard errors of the mean calculated at the trial-level. Note that the scales are equal across grades in the upper row, but range in the bottom row.
