Word learning task from "Beyond processing: Effects of disfluency on word learning over time."
Built with Task Builder 1
Participants see novel and familiar objects and predict how each sentence will end. After two practice trials, participants continue on to twelve exposure trials that may end in reference to either the novel or familiar object. Familiar words are always presented within fluent sentences, whereas novel words may be preceded by disfluencies. Task is adapted from Gambi et al. (2021) and stimuli come from Brodeur et al. (2010) and Horst & Hout (2016).

Participants hear each of the novel words learned in the exposure phase and must select the correct object from a field of four. Each of the eight objects is tested four times each. Stimuli come from Horst & Hout (2016).
