Abstract
The English orthography represents the units of meaning (morphemes) as well as the units of sound in words. This experiment focused on 6- to 10-year-old children's sensitivity to the role that an understudied group of morphemes, derivations, plays in spelling. We asked children to circle the correct ending out of 3 phonologically plausible options for 2-morpheme words ending in derivations (e.g., lucky) and for 1-morpheme words with the same word-final letter sequence (e.g., study). The older children (approximately 9 years of age) were more likely to complete the endings correctly for derived words than for 1-morpheme words. This effect did not emerge for the younger children (approximately 7 years). These results help to specify the developmental trajectory of children's sensitivity to the role of morphemes in spelling.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
