A repeated measures GLM with case marking (C/NC) and animacy hierarchy (AA/AI/IA) factors showed a significant main effect of case marking driven by better performance for C ( M = 93.8%, SD = 9.70%) than for NC ( M = 75%, SD = 23.2%), F (1, 28) = 32.8, p < 0.001, and a marginally significant main effect of animacy hierarchy, F (2, 56) = 3.09, p = 0.053.
