Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The cohort model predicts that weaver will be no more activated than an unrelated word that has no sound overlap at all with cleaver, such as tablet. This is because the cohort model states that activation is limited to words that have the same onset as the word being spoken. For example, upon hearing the first phoneme in cleaver, only words beginning with that phoneme (e.g., car, kiss, clover, cleats, etc.) will become activated; upon hearing the second phoneme, only words beginning with the same two phonemes will be activated (e.g., clover, cleats, etc.) and so on. In contrast, the TRACE model predicts that weaver will be activated to a greater degree than tablet upon hearing the word cleaver. This is because the TRACE model predicts activation to increase for any word that overlaps substantially with the word being spoken, regardless of whether this overlap occurs at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.

Question 11

Consider the Berger and Fitzsimons (2008) study in which photographs of dogs were presented to people, after which they felt more positively about products with the Puma brand name. This is presumably because the semantic relationship between dogs and pumas made the brand name feel more familiar, a factor that is known to promote positive attitudes. Design an experiment involving brand names to further explore the link between familiarity and attitudes, but focus on familiarity related to the sounds of brand names rather than their meanings. Be sure to include examples of key stimuli and appropriate controls, and to specify which conditions you are comparing and the results you expect.
