PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During test phase of the experimental session (within 3 seconds after the learning phase); 1.0-2.5 seconds after the test question

Population: Participants were excluded from this outcome variable if their data was not able to be reliably coded (e.g., children were not looking at the screen).
