My research question is whether children learning French choose masculine or feminine articles for nouns when the pictures they see have + or - natural gender (male/female-ness) and the French words have + or - grammatical gender. Population K-1 boys and girls. I'm stumped as to how to determine which dependent variables (age, boy/girl, presence/absense of natural/grammatical gender) influence the child's choice of article.

Your research question involves a response variable (choice of masculine or feminine article) and two independent variables ( 1. + or - natural gender (male/female-ness) and 2. the French words have + or - grammatical gender). Thus, the students? age and gender are not considered IV?s given your question. If they should be then you need to refine you research question to incorporate them. Also, if you response variable is a choice of masculine or feminine article (+ vs - a nominal variable) then an anova will non be appropriate. Reconsider you question and resubmit.
