My erstwhile student, Ian Jones, has a new paper out on word learning in children. With his co-authors, he re-analyzed archival data to answer novel questions that were not addressed by traditional statistical procedures (t-test, ANOVA, regression). If your data are not continuous, why not look for patterns in individual discrete responses rather than analyze means and variances? Here’s the paper: Jones, Kucker, Perry, and Grice (2024). Capturing the Heterogeneity of Word Learners by Analyzing Persons, Behavioral Sciences, 14(8), 708.
