Document Summary

The united states has long been considered one of the most influential countries in the world, with a unique form of government that has been studied and replicated by countries all over the globe. However, while the united states is known for its political stability and peaceful transitions of power, this was not always the case. In fact, the early years of the united states were marked by political turmoil and violence, including a time known as the "era of good. The era of good feelings began in the aftermath of the war of 1812, a conflict between the united states and great britain that had left the young nation battered and bruised. In the years following the war, the united states experienced a period of economic growth and expansion, thanks in part to the industrial revolution and the opening of new markets for.

Did colonization bring more advantages to the countries that were colonized?

Unit 2: Historical Globalization: Two Views on Colonization

Colonialism in Africa lasted for a period of about eighty years. It began with the mad "Scramble for Africa" at the Berlin Conference in 1884. Major leaders of different European nations came together and agreed to the partition of the entire African continent.

Here are two views on colonization in Africa. Review each, summarize each side and state your opinion: Did colonization bring more advantages to the countries that were colonized?

Be sure to use vocabulary, concepts and terms from the course to support your thoughts.

VIEW ONE

The African continent was undeveloped, Europeans brought in opportunities for industrialization and employment
Europeans opened Africa up to trade and the benefits of science and civilization, to the invention of the wheel and writing
The imperialist nations built roads, railways, electric and telegraph lines in these remote areas
Europeans brought the benefits of peace, stability and education
When the colonists left, the trouble that followed independence was caused by tribalism and corruption

VIEW TWO

The continent of Africa was flourishing before the Europeans arrived, just in a different way from European ideals
Europeans came looking for loot - they found it in human slaves, many of whom were uprooted and forced to live in the Americas
This made Africa poor while Western countries became rich, especially as the slaves helped to support the Industrial Revolution
This gave the Europeans a sense of superiority which was interpreted as racial superiority. as this further encouraged more colonialism
Europe carved up Africa so it could more easily exploit Africa's mineral wealth

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.
