Response times (in milliseconds) of the four-year-olds, the-five-year-olds and the adults for the four different sentence types after, before, because, and if. Individual dots represent individual responses (raw data). Bars indicate means, beans (the oval shapes around the dots) indicate smoothed density, and bands (dark-coloured lines at the top of the bars) indicate the 95% Bayesian Highest Density Interval (HDI).
