For each condition, the coding was performed by a research assistant that did not know the hypotheses, was not present during the tests, and was told to only judge the children on the coding criteria. To assure there was interrater reliability, another coder coded as well. There were four categories amongst the coding that showed the child’s responses. These are shown and described in Table 1 (2053). Children produced more pointing gestures and more iconic gestures in the communication condition than in the control condition. Study one has shown that with the right assets, two year olds are able to use and create random, nonconventional
