LAPELC² / RESEARCH / BEHAVIORAL MEASURES

Behavioral
measures

Our experiments record judgments, choices, response times, and accuracy to investigate language processing.

01 / HOW IT WORKS

How it
work?

Stimulus presentation

Participants encounter linguistic stimuli in tasks with predefined instructions and experimental conditions.

Response recording

We collect choices, judgments, and response times during each task.

Analysis and interpretation

We compare accuracy, response latency, and response patterns across experimental conditions.

02 / RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

What do behavioral measures reveal?

Perception and judgment

Investigating responses to speech and other linguistic stimuli.

Comprehension and processing

Tasks that measure responses during word and sentence comprehension.

Differences across conditions

Comparing performance across stimuli and experimental conditions.

03 / EXAMPLE TASKS

Forced-choice tasks

Selecting a response after a stimulus is presented.

Esquema de tarefa de decisão lexical — ilustração, não dados de pesquisa

Lexical decision

Classifying sequences presented in an experimental task.

Response times

Measuring the latency between stimulus presentation and response.

04 / INTEGRATION WITH OTHER MEASURES

Integration
with other
measures.

Behavioral measures can be combined with eye tracking and electrophysiological recordings to expand our understanding of language processing.
