Developing Abstract Representations of Passives: Evidence From Bilingual Children's Interpretation of Passive Constructions.

For the monolingual children, age showed a trend for being more highly correlated with accuracy, r (60) = 0.304, p = 0.02, 95%CI [0.059, 0.515], than vocabulary, r (60) = 0.043, p = 0.74, 95%CI [−0.209, 0.290] ( z = 1.47, p = 0.07).

In both language groups, the younger children tended to be less accurate than the older children, although this difference approached significance for the monolingual children, t (60) = −1.75, p = 0.09 (95%CI of this difference [−0.21, 0.01]) and was significant for the bilingual children, t (60) = −3.71, p < 0.0001 (95%CI of this difference [−0.40, −0.12]).

There was a near-significant difference for the younger groups, t (64) = 1.72, p = 0.09 (95%CI of this difference [−0.02, 0.26]), but not the older groups, t (56) = 0.78, p = 0.44 (95%CI of this difference [−0.14, 0.06]).
