Word Learning Experiment Quiz
Welcome to the Word Learning Experiment Quiz! This engaging quiz is designed to assess your understanding of various words, ranging from very easy to very tough. Participants will learn new vocabulary through definitions and usage examples, and then classify the difficulty of these words based on their learning experience.
Join us in this experimental study aiming to enhance our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in word learning. Here's what to expect:
- 25 carefully selected words
- Different difficulty levels
- Time-limited responses for each classification
This test is conducted for an experimental study on word learning. The findings of the experiment will contribute for a term paper on Bayesian Cognition at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
Instructions
1. The words to be learned are picked from different difficulty level. There are 5 classes : very easy, basic, average, advance and very tough.
2. First, you will be presented with 25 words from different categories with their meaning. You should try to remember the words with their meaning.
3. Next, a quick survey will follow asking to classify the difficulty of some of the sampled learned words. You are encouraged to classify the words in the classes - very easy, basic, average, advance and very tough, based on your learning experience. The response time is limited to 10 second per question.
4. Kindly use the entire scale of classes while submitting responses to spread even judgement.
