ANOVA 2 Q&A document
Statistical Methods (Statistical Psychology)
Would you mind explaining the difference between lexical decision task and semantic decision task?
What are the types of semantic relationship (synonyms, antonyms, conceptual associates, etc.) this practical looking at?
What is the “lifetime of semantic priming effects”?
What is the difference between masked prime technique and single presentation technique / What is a masked priming paradigm?
In the guide to writing a lab report it states to identify the area of psychology the practical falls under. What area of psychology does priming come under?
The experiment
180 words in the experiment in total, 90 real words, 90 non-real words? If so, is the split of related and unrelated for the real-words 50/50 (as in, are there 45 related primes and 45 unrelated primes)?
Have the methods used in this study been replicated exactly as in the suggested paper? If not, what has been changed?
Can you confirm there are two IVs for this experiment? The latest lecture only mentioned one.
Were the words (targets and primes) taken from a previous study and if so, will we be provided with the reference?
What was the sampling method used?
What was used to administer the study? was it pavlovia or just psychopy?
The procedure section of the report guide says we need to explain how the IV was controlled. Can you explain what that means in the context of this experiment?
Why is the order of the blocks randomised as opposed to counterbalanced in the experiment on semantic priming? And are the trials within each block randomised?
What are the sequence of timing for this practical from the masking to answering the questions / Were there time limit for answering the questions / How long were the hashtags and target words presented for in the experimental trials?
Is Response Stimulus Interval referring to the gap before we need to choose the correct answer?
Why was the underlying rationale for choosing SOA of 67 and 83 ms?
