Assessing effect sizes, variability, and power in the on-line study of language production

arXiv:2403.15459v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: With the pandemic, many experimental psychologists and linguists have started to collect data over the internet (hereafter on-line data). The feasibility of such experiments and the sample sizes required to achieve sufficient statistical power in future experiments have to be assessed. This in turn requires information on effect sizes and variability. In a series of analyses, we compare response time data obtained in the same word production experiment conducted in the lab and on-line. These …
