The babies are positioned in front of a screen on which a set of four colored patches is presented. The four colors are red, green, blue, and yellow. The researcher measures the amount of time each infant looks at each of the four colors during a 30-second test period. The color with the greatest time is identified as the preferred color for the child. What type of test would you use to test the hypothesis that babies can differentiate between color (e.g., will have different look times between the 4 colors)? Would you use a one-tailed or two-tailed test? What would be an appropriate measure of effect size to report?arrow_forward
