Lexical Decisions Experiment

Description: This Psych Labs Project uses the experiment method. Students participate in an online experiment that briefly presents 4 letters on the left side of the screen or the right side of the screen. Students must make a "lexical decision," deciding as quickly as possible whether the letters form a real English word or a nonsense nonword. The statistical analyses look for differences in decision speed depending on whether the letters are presented to the left visual field or the right visual field.
