Question 3 of 16

1

Do you know what the stroop effect is?

Select one of the following:

  • Yes - We have learnt it an annoying amount of times

  • No - I have not been paying attention

Explanation

Question 4 of 16

1

In 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.

Select one of the following:

  • Sky would take longer to respond to than book

  • Book would take longer to respond to than sky

  • Sky will have a shorter reaction time than book

  • Book will have a longer reaction time than sky

Explanation

Question 5 of 16

1

The word "clip" being processed faster when preceded by "klip" and relatively slower when preceded by "plip" is an example of?

Select one of the following:

  • Phonological priming

  • Orthographic priming

  • Semantic interference

  • Stroop effect

Explanation

Question 6 of 16

1

Which of the following describes the word superiority effect?

Select one of the following:

  • Identification of a letter is easier if it occurs in the context of a word.

  • Words that are used more often are recognised quicker.

  • Words like "king" or "boss" are recognised quicker than "pawn" or "employee"

  • Words positioned higher on a page are recognised as more superior than words lower on the page.

Explanation

Question 7 of 16

1

The word "judge" is responded to faster if it is primed by "jugde" rather than "junpe", this is an example of the...

Select one of the following:

  • Transposed letter priming effect

  • Phonological priming effect

  • Orthographic priming effect

  • Letter position priming effect

Explanation

Question 8 of 16

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

A language that has some spelling to sound mappings that are not consistent is referred to as having ( deep/opaque, shallow/transparent ) orthography.

In contrast, languages with consistent grapheme to phoneme mappings has a ( shallow/transparent, deep/opaque ) orthography.

Explanation

Question 9 of 16

1

According 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...

Select one of the following:

  • They are frequently used words

  • The words are rarely used

  • They have self relevance to the reader

  • The words are positive in nature. Eg. happy is processed quicker than sadness

Explanation

Question 10 of 16

1

Which of the following are characteristic of deep dyslexia?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Semantic errors

  • Phonological errors

  • Difficulty reading irregular words

  • Difficulty with abstract words such as "the, and, above, tomorrow"

  • Letter displacement

Explanation

Question 11 of 16

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The ( connectionist, dual route ) model describes ( consistency, regularity ), which applies to words and nonwords. It relates to a words pronunciation being consistent with all other words of similar spelling.

The ( dual route, connectionist ) model describes ( regularity, consistency ), which applies to words only. It relates to whether or not a word follows the standard phoneme mapping rules.

Explanation

Question 12 of 16

1

Jared (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?

Select one of the following:

  • Regularity plays a stronger role in reading than consistency.

  • Consistency plays a stronger role in reading than regularity.

  • Regularity and consistency both have similar effects on our reading ability.

Explanation

  • They take 25-30ms

  • They take 75-100ms

  • We see everything during a saccade

  • We are effectively blind during a saccade

  • When reading we saccade on average across 7-8 characters

  • When reading we saccade over each word

  • They are ballistic
