Exercise 1: Conceptualize and implement the core experimental procedure
Sample AbstractThe experiment will measure the time it takes to make a lexical decision. The independent variable is whether a letter string is a word or non-word. The stimuli will be text strings of words and non-words, presented in random order in black text on a white background. The subject will be presented with a fixation (+) displayed in the center of the screen for one second. Then a probe display will present a letter string stimulus in the center of the screen for up to 2 seconds. The stimulus display will terminate when the subject responds. Subjects are to respond as quickly as possible whether the stimulus was a word or a non-word by pressing the “1” or “2” key respectively. The dependent measures are the response (i.e., key pressed), response time, and response accuracy of the probe display.
