Question

An experimenter discovers that the time for people to detect a string of letters on a computer screen is 400 milliseconds, and that the time to push one of two buttons as to whether that string of letters is a legitimate word (e.g., travel) versus a nonword (e.g., terhil) is 575 milliseconds. Which technique would be most useful in figuring out the time for word recognition, independent of letter-string detection?
a. Introspectionsb. Operant conditioningc. Neuropyshologyd. Subtractive method

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option D (Subtractive method ).

Explanation:

• This approach essentially requests a participant to construct two activities that are already in almost every way similar, except for a mental process that is assumed to also be included in any of the activities although omitted in another.
• This method will be much more valuable when deciding the period for phonemic awareness, despite text-string identification.

The other three options are not related to the given scenario. So that Option D is the right answer.
