Welcome to the first part our our study!
Today, you will be making judgements on the similarity
of words, and then learning a series of word pairs.
The tasks today will take approximately 60 minuttes.
For the first part of the experiment, you will be asked to judge the similarity of a number of words.
To do so, please click on a word from the list on the left to bring it to the main box.
From there, you can click and drag the word as many times as you'd like until
you're happy with its placement.
You should place the words so that words that are more similar are closer together and words
that are less similar are farther apart.
There is no time limit for this task, so please take your time
and think carefully about how you arrange the words.
When you are happy with your arrangment of the words, please press the "submit arrangment"
button at the bottom of your screen.
You will complete 6 trials of this task.
For the next part of the experiment, you will be learning word triplets, one triplets at a time.
Please CLOSELY STUDY each triplet that you see, and commit it to MEMORY.
Please make sure your screen is in FULL SIZE or the triplets will not display properly.
Before starting the study, please type the following as one line into the text box below
(capitalization, spacing, and punctuation must be exact):
I understand this is a 2 part experiment AND
will only receive credit upon completion of the second part of the study.
You will now see the same triplets again.
For some triplets it will say:
STUDY this triplet.
This gives you more time to memorize.
For other triplets you will be shown one of the words and asked to recall the second.
You will have 6 seconds to TYPE the second word.
After 6 seconds, the correct answer will appear for 2 seconds.
Please pay close ATTENTION to the answer.
You are now allowed to take a break. Please take no more than FIVE minutes!
