Question
I am having trouble answering these. somone please help!
If humans could not solve the invariance problem in letter recognition, what would happen? Answer this question by describing the (hypothetical) problem that we would face in letter recognition, in a sentence or two.
Provide a pair of sentences that you expect to prime each other without any overlap in words whatsoever.
Describe, in a single sentence, the evidence that the grammatical properties and phonological properties of a word are accessed at different time points in word production process. Use the following words in your answer: Tip-of-the-tongue, grammatical gender
Describe, in a single sentence, the semantic interference effect in picture naming task. Also provide an example word pair that you predict to semantically interfere with each other.
Provide a sentence which you expect to elicit a large P600. Underline the critical word at which you would expect to observe the P600 effect. Do not use the same example from the lecture note or the slides.
Explanation / Answer
Note: This response is in UK English, please paste the response to MS Word and you should be able to spot discrepancies easily. Also, all the examples provided below are my own. You may change them if you like. My response to answer 4 and 5 may be inadequate as no studies on this subject are available for free. You may modify the response based on the content you have access to.
(Answer) (1) If humans could not solve the invariance problem in letter recognition, what would happen? Answer this question by describing the (hypothetical) problem that we would face in letter recognition, in a sentence or two.
There would be certain acoustic properties that a human would find very difficult to understand. Furthermore, we would not be able to recognise the invariants of a sound. The invariants of a sound are the one peculiar sound that is unique to each sound. For example, the buzzing sound is peculiar to a “Z.”
(2) Provide a pair of sentences that you expect to prime each other without any overlap in words whatsoever.
The referee stopped the game
His reference topped with fame
(3) Describe, in a single sentence, the evidence that the grammatical properties and phonological properties of a word are accessed at different time points in word production process. Use the following words in your answer: Tip-of-the-tongue, grammatical gender
The answer wasn’t at the tip-of-the-tongue, but she responded within two minute minutes. (First minute as in small. Second minute as in the unit of time)
(4) Describe, in a single sentence, the semantic interference effect in picture naming task. Also, provide an example word pair that you predict to semantically interfere with each other.
Participants would get confused between the word “pizza” and “piazza.”
However, once they are shown a picture of a pie labeled “pizza” and a public marketplace with the label “piazza”, they begin to infer the words better. This is semantic interference effect in a picture naming task.
It is where picture-word retention differences exhibit a dual coding theory.
Other examples include, “palace” and “place”
(5) Provide a sentence which you expect to elicit a large P600. Underline the critical word at which you would expect to observe the P600 effect. Do not use the same example from the lecture note or the slides.
The crippled woman began to sprint upon being robbed.
(This sentence causes your brain to produce a certain response in the EEG within 600 milliseconds. This is known as the P600 response. This sentence has a grammatical error, “She was wondering that she could go.” (“that” should be replaced with “if” )
