Thoughts about language psychology studies

  • On which facts language psychologists confirm their theories/models?
    • Language effects: Responses between some language aspects
    • Factorial design by language aspects: word frequency, prime-target relation, sentence structures, …
    • Manipulations on the language aspects vibrated within/between languages.
  • Why are language studies less reproducible?
    • Within language: Effects varied with the selected materials
    • Between languages: Language A detected that effect, but Language B failed.

  • Most accumulated data came from English, and the results showed the weak effect (~ 10 ms).
