Implementing Visual World Paradigm in Experiment Builder
Delivered - Friday, June 26 2020, 1pm ET
This post covers how to implement the Visual World Paradigm in Experiment Builder, see the post below for how to analyze the data in Data Viewer.
The Visual World Paradigm provides insight into the time-course of processing spoken language comprehension. On each trial of a typical Visual World experiment, the participant will see two or more images and hear some instructions about how to interact with the images. For example, the participant may see an image of some grapes, an image of a grill, an image of an apple, and an image of an umbrella and then hear instructions telling them to click on the grapes. The looking pattern to the various images as the utterance unfolds tells us about the time-course of comprehending different aspects of the utterance, as looks to the grill indicate phonological interference and looks to the apple indicate semantic interference before the participant eventually identifies the true target (the grapes).
This webinar will cover how to implement a typical version of the Visual World Paradigm in Experiment Builder. The discussion will cover:
