Jake wants to carry out his final year project on the STROOP task, in which you show colour words written in congruent and incongruent colours. He has a number of variations of word type that he will use whilst testing reactions times for naming the colour of the font e.g. font type, upper versus lower case. He plans to test each word type in a separate block of trials and then compare the word types in an ANOVA. What issue is he likely to have with his design?Question 14Answera.There are two variables, congruent versus incongruent word-colour combinations, as well as word type, which means the data cannot be analysedb.There will be order effects as the word type is varied in separate blocksc.The participants won't know the words in advance so they can't give informed consentd.There will be a confounding variable of word type, which will affect the results
Question
Jake wants to carry out his final year project on the STROOP task, in which you show colour words written in congruent and incongruent colours. He has a number of variations of word type that he will use whilst testing reactions times for naming the colour of the font e.g. font type, upper versus lower case. He plans to test each word type in a separate block of trials and then compare the word types in an ANOVA. What issue is he likely to have with his design?Question 14Answera.There are two variables, congruent versus incongruent word-colour combinations, as well as word type, which means the data cannot be analysedb.There will be order effects as the word type is varied in separate blocksc.The participants won't know the words in advance so they can't give informed consentd.There will be a confounding variable of word type, which will affect the results
Solution
The issue Jake is likely to have with his design is b. There will be order effects as the word type is varied in separate blocks. This is because the order in which the word types are presented could potentially influence the participants' reaction times. For example, participants might get faster at the task over time due to practice, or they might get slower due to fatigue. This would make it difficult to determine whether any differences in reaction times between the word types are due to the word types themselves, or simply the order in which they were presented.

A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was carried out on data from a word recognition task. Participants reaction times were recorded for two word categories for both high and low frequency words (see image). Was there a significant effect of word frequency on reaction times for recognition?Question 10Answera.Yes, there was a significant effect of word frequency on reaction times as F(1, 23) = 24.47, p<.095b.Yes, there was a significant effect of word frequency on reaction times as F(1, 23) = 24.47, p<.001c.Yes, there was a significant effect of word frequency on reaction times as F(23) = 25, p=.051d.No, there is no effect of word frequency on reaction times as p=.095
