Document Summary

Venue - area of geographic jurisdiction (can be limited to a particular district, city or county ) Court jurisdiction can be quite complex because of its many dimensions. 1: subject jurisdiction - category of cases the court is authorized to consider, personal (in personam) jurisdiction - authority over the defendant. 4: original jurisdiction - authority to near or act on a case from it"s beginning to its conclusion, appellate jurisdiction - authority to review decisions made by a lower court. 7. in rem jurisdiction- result of the presence of tangible or intangible assets within the court"s venue. Limited jurisdiction - court has original jurisdiction in only a limited number of narrowly defined cases: general jurisdiction - authority of a trial court to near any type of case in amounts below a certain threshold.

Analyze and write about the results of a visual and an auditory lexical decision task. Analyze a large data set that includes students’ responses for both the visual and auditory modality. Lab is a write-up of these findings.

One large data file that includes all experimental trial responses for both the Visual and Auditory modality tasks. Note that the sample size for the visual experiment is 16 and for the auditory experiment is 15.

Presentedz with visual words and pseudo-words in one experiment and auditory words and pseudo-words in a second experiment. Respond whether you saw/heard a real word of English or not. In the visual task, remained fixated on a cross (i.e., ‘+’) presented in the centre of the screen, while the stimulus was visually presented either to the left or right of the fixation point. In the auditory experiment, you heard words and pseudo-words presented either to your left or right ear.

In each experiment, there were 60 words and 60 pseudo-words. It was the same 120 items presented in each experiment. Only their modality of presentation changed. Thirty words and 30 pseudo-words were presented to the left (side of the screen in the visual experiment, ear in the auditory experiment), while the other 30 words and other 30 pseudo-words are presented to the right. Side of presentation was balanced across participants using two lists. Each list contained the same set of words and pseudo-words; only presentation side was counter-balanced across lists.

Independent samples t-tests revealed no difference in orthographic length between the words and pseudo-words (t(117) = -1.59, p = 0.11); there is, however, a reliable phoneme length difference between the words and pseudo-words (t(104.28) = -6.37, p < 0.001). We also recorded whether the participant was a native speaker of English or not and whether they are right- or left-hand dominant. Feel free to use these factors in your analysis.

Given what you know about the organization of the visual and auditory pathways and lateralization of language processing, state, in very clear terms, what your predictions are. Provide specific predictions for your observation (dependent) variable(s), and select and name your predictor (independent) variable(s).
Provide a detailed list of the processing steps in R that is performed to arrive at your results. For example, do you want to include incorrect trials trials in your analysis of both dependent variables? Do not provide the R code, but instead write out these steps in plain English.
Provide a series of plots that provide an illustration of your results. You should minimally include a plot of the accuracy and reaction time results and this should be done for each modality. You may also included histograms of your reaction time distributions, but this is not necessary. Be sure your axes are appropriately labeled.
Provide a table that presents your numerical findings in a clear manner. Remember to include both the sample-level averages and standard deviations per condition.
Discuss your results in light of the predictions in Q1 and your findings in Q3 and Q4. Make specific reference to your predictions and the extent to which they are borne out.
Get creative: Incorporate one other factor (e.g., native language, handedness). State your predictions and provide a breakdown of the data in terms of these factors.
Design your own research question: Consider how you might use the same experimental design to understand another linguistic phenomenon and population (e.g. stop VOT, vowel length, lexical tone, Mandarin speakers, French speakers etc.). State your research question, and provide and motivate specific predictions for your dependent variable(s) as a function of your predictor variable(s). Note: Ideally, the new research question will still involve language lateralization. Consult the Gazzaniga readings online for ideas based on the particular specializations of each hemisphere.
