- BPhonology
- CSemantics
- DSyntax
- EDiscourse processing

3Do you know what the stroop effect is?
- AYes - We have learnt it an annoying amount of times
- BNo - I have not been paying attention
4In a semantic stroop task, a participant is to name the colour of the font and the word is either semantically incongruent or neutral. For example the font colour is green and the words sky (incongruent) and book (neutral) are presented. What would we predict in relation to reaction times from this example.
- ASky would take longer to respond to than book
- BBook would take longer to respond to than sky
- CSky will have a shorter reaction time than book
- DBook will have a longer reaction time than sky
5The word "clip" being processed faster when preceded by "klip" and relatively slower when preceded by "plip" is an example of?
- APhonological priming
- BOrthographic priming
- CSemantic interference
- DStroop effect
6Which of the following describes the word superiority effect?
- AIdentification of a letter is easier if it occurs in the context of a word.
- BWords that are used more often are recognised quicker.
- CWords like "king" or "boss" are recognised quicker than "pawn" or "employee"
- DWords positioned higher on a page are recognised as more superior than words lower on the page.
7The word "judge" is responded to faster if it is primed by "jugde" rather than "junpe", this is an example of the...
- ATransposed letter priming effect
- BPhonological priming effect
- COrthographic priming effect
- DLetter position priming effect
8A language that has some spelling to sound mappings that are not consistent is referred to as having [blank_start]deep/opaque[blank_end] orthography.
In contrast, languages with consistent grapheme to phoneme mappings has a [blank_start]shallow/transparent[blank_end] orthography.- Adeep/opaque
- Bshallow/transparent
- Cshallow/transparent
- Ddeep/opaque
9According to the dual route model of reading, words read using the non-lexical route are read quicker than in the lexical route. This effect is reduced/eliminated for words in the lexical route when...
- AThey are frequently used words
- BThe words are rarely used
- CThey have self relevance to the reader
- DThe words are positive in nature. Eg. happy is processed quicker than sadness
10Which of the following are characteristic of deep dyslexia?
- ASemantic errors
- BPhonological errors
- CDifficulty reading irregular words
- DDifficulty with abstract words such as "the, and, above, tomorrow"
- ELetter displacement
11The [blank_start]connectionist[blank_end] model describes [blank_start]consistency[blank_end], which applies to words and nonwords. It relates to a words pronunciation being consistent with all other words of similar spelling.
The [blank_start]dual route[blank_end] model describes [blank_start]regularity[blank_end], which applies to words only. It relates to whether or not a word follows the standard phoneme mapping rules.- Aconnectionist
- Bdual route
- Cdual route
- Dconnectionist
- Econsistency
- Fregularity
- Gregularity
- Hconsistency
12Jared (2002) showed that a regular and consistent word had faster reaction times than a regular inconsistent word. This effect was also present for high frequency words. What does this suggest about regularity vs consistency?
- ARegularity plays a stronger role in reading than consistency.
- BConsistency plays a stronger role in reading than regularity.
- CRegularity and consistency both have similar effects on our reading ability.
13What are some of the characteristics of saccades?
- AThey take 25-30ms
- BThey take 75-100ms
- CWe see everything during a saccade
- DWe are effectively blind during a saccade
- EWhen reading we saccade on average across 7-8 characters
- FWhen reading we saccade over each word
- GThey are ballistic

- BSaccades
- Cright

- AThe effective field of view from where we are fixating and is symmetrical.
- BThe effective field of view from where we are fixating and is wider to the right.
- CThe effective field of view from where we are fixating and is wider to the left.
- D250ms
