Research studies on second language (L2) morphosyntactic variation that include multiple learner course or experience levels often conduct separate statistical analyses of the factors affecting variation, one per level, and compare significant constraints their coefficients across these groups as an indication L2 development. This method comparing regression can lead to perception differences participant may not be statistically significant. Thus, current study reanalyzes data from Author (forthcoming), who investigated development past perfective form by 105 English-speaking learners Spanish six levels. Participants selected between preterit PP a written contextualized task, in which 32 discursive contexts narrative were manipulated for four linguistic variables known affect preterit-PP Spanish-speaking world: time action, verb lexical aspect, sequencing, presence temporal adverb. In our analysis, we combined distinct into model, included interaction level each task. We then compared findings (forthcoming) conducted level. Findings indicate only action sequencing demonstrated significantly different effects levels, overestimation among
