4.5 Grouped Statistics: Patterns 1 and 2

If participants make a judgment based on the nasalized segment hierarchy, Pattern 1 is expected to be learned better than Pattern 2. The response percentages of the test items for Pattern 1: S(k) → W(k) and Pattern 2: W(k) → S(k) can be found in Fig. 4.3. Note that the accuracy for each item is based on the implicational nasalized segment hierarchy hypothesis.11 Patterns 1 and 2 participants did well on old test items and new test items containing a new vowel.12 Pattern 2 participants performed poorly on the new-gen test items, while Pattern 1 participants were able to generalize to new-gen test items.
