title: DATA ANALYSIS - The relation between numeral acquisition and morphosyntactic cues in Dutch kindergartners with and without (suspected) DLD.

description: This collection includes the data files, R scripts, and html files that belong to the study "When children cannot count on morphosyntax: the relation between numeral acquisition and morphosyntactic cues in kindergartners with and without (suspected) DLD."There are one RMD file and one html file provided for each task based on which we conducted regression models. These are respectively called "Rote-Counting-Analysis(.rmd/html)", "TellMeAnalysis(.rmd/html), and "GiveMeAnalysis(.rmd/html)". In addition, the files "Gender Differences, Background Measures and Correlations(.rmd/html)" provide the t-tests to determine whether girls and boys in the TD group differed significantly and to determine group differences on the background measures. This file also contains the correlation analysis.<br>The RMD file for the Rote Counting Analysis makes use of the following csv-file:AllTasks.csvThe RMD file for the Tell me analysis makes use of the following csv-file:TellMe.csvThe RMD file for the Give Me analysis makes use of the following csv-file:GiveMe.csvThe RMD file with the t-tests and correlations tests makes use of the following csv-file:AllTasks.csvThe data for this study can be found in the following spreadsheets:AllTasks.csv - This spreadsheet gives an overview of the age and scores of every child (subject) on every task. This file also contains children's highest counts and the PTP analysis (for each highest count between 22 and 109 we determined whether this was considered Procedural Transition Point (PTP) or not).NextNumber.csv - This spreadsheet gives the Next Number results. For each child we documented their responses (if any) to each of the 18 items. When a child did not answer, the response is notated as 'x'. We also determined for each response whether it was correct (1) or incorrect (0) (Accuracy) and categorized them in different response types.TellMe.csv - This spreadsheet gives the Tell Me results. The spreadsheet documents the exact answers produced by children in response to each trial, as well as the Accuracy (correct = 1, incorrect = 0) and the the categorization in different ResponseTypes.GiveMe.csv - This spreadsheet gives the Give Me results.The spreadsheet documents which or how many items children gave in response to each trial, as well as the Accuracy (correct = 1, incorrect = 0). The file also gives information about the categorization of each response in different ResponseTypes.KnowerLevels.csv - This spreadsheet shows how we determined each child's knower level following the criteria formulated by Le Corre & Carey (2007). For each child we show how many mistakes (out of three) it made in response to each cardinal during the Give Me Task (for one child the Tell Me responses were used) in the column 'Errors' as well as the number of times that same quantity was used in response to another cardinal ('ErrorOnOtherCardinal'). You can find the reference and description of the Knower-level analysis in the file Knowerlevelanalysis.docxThese data were collected and analyzed as part of the research for a dissertation written Heleen de Vries, under supervision of Judith Rispens, Caitlin Meyer, and Alla Peeters-Podgaevskaja.
