For this assignment, complete the Word Superiority activity in MindTap by following the link. Read the directions carefully and complete the task as accurately as possible. In this activity, you will classify two letter strings as being the same or being different. Full instructions are presented within the activity. The activity will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. When finished, complete the following instructions/questions. 1. Take a screenshot of your performance listed under the "Your Summary Data" tab for the activity. In your screenshot, be sure to include the part which plots your data. 2. For the activity, were your RTs (reaction times) faster for words compared to non-words? Did your proportion correct differ depending on whether the two strings were words versus non-words? - The reaction time for non-words was higher than the words category. The proportion did vary differently depending on the two strings. 3. When comparing your performance to the global data, how did you perform? Did the condition patterns you found map on to the global data? How were they the same? How are they different? - Comparing my performance to the global data set showing that the results were about the same. The difference between them was my reaction times were way lower than the global data in the words category. 4. Based on the global data, responses are typically faster when distinguishing between words compared to distinguishing between non-words. Why do you think this is? Note that we did not cover this particular effect in class, I am just asking you to speculate.
-It is easier to distinguish the words from a quick glance. I was able to decipher the words when looking at the first and second to the last letter noticing that they were the same so I chose my answer.
