show p_value for the interaction between two main effects

Hello all.

I have the following model,

me.model = lmer(Score ~ Closure*ExpertiseType + (Closure|Participant) + (1|Item), datasheet.complete)

in which Closure and ExpertiseType are ordinal data (so I use the function factor()).

This does not provide me anymore with an output

Closure (estimate) (error) (t) (p_value)
ExpertiseTye ... ... ... ...
Closure*ExpertiseType ... ... ... ...

I would need to know the p_value of the interaction, I could I do it?

Hello everybody,

sorry to disturb you again.
Is it possible to obtain only the p_value of an interaction for a lmer() model that uses the function factor()?

To get the p-value of terms with more than one parameter (like
factors) you typically need to use anova(...,test="Chisq") to compare a
full and a reduced model.  drop1(test="Chisq") might work too.
