A three-way interaction between ‘speaker’, ‘label’ and ‘perception’ showed a trend towards significance, moreover, suggesting that the differential effect of label familiarity for children varying in perception scores mainly held for the robot condition.

The sentences
First, a marginally significant interaction between ‘speaker’ and ‘non-verbal cue’ indicated that children followed pointing cues over labeling more often in the robot than in the human condition, while they followed eye gaze over labeling more often in the human than in the robot condition (Est. = -2.891, SE = 1.457, z = -1.973, p = .048).
However, a three-way interaction that approached significance indicated that the ‘label’*’perception’ interaction was stronger for the robot condition than for the human-speaker condition.
