In the Baby Animals task, generalization accuracy was significantly associated with age, β = 0.01, SE = 0.001, t (180.6) = 8.90, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.008, 0.012], and showed a trend toward a significant association with verbal intelligence, β = 0.003, SE = 0.002, t (180.0) = 1.90, p = 0.060, 95% CI [−0.0001, 0.007].
