Word Recognition (Contd.): Help Needed!
I forgot this point in my last entry…
As some of you may remember, I was running this word recognition experiment for a linguistics assignment I was supposed to hand in in January, but, as you may or may not know, I never wrote the paper, which I still have to do. So I was thinking that I could use some more data (a lot more) and decided to let the experiment run for a while longer.
So, I hereby urge everyone to head to http://lillesvin.net/ling/wr/ and do the experiment. It’s really easy and it only takes 3 minutes, so there’s absolutely no excuse for not doing it. I really need as much data as possible, so apart from twisting only your arm I’ll now ask you to tell all your friends (and enemies) to go do the experiment, link to it in your blog/on your website, print flyers and throw them out of a plane over Tokyo, hack slashdot.org and replace it with a link to the experiment, spam everyone in your address book… I don’t care as long as you’re just doing something!!!
The experiment deadline is April 15 2005, so there’s not a whole lot of time, I know, but I should still be able to get a usable amount of results. I hope you’re willing to help me out - if not, remember what Woody Allen said about egoism…
In advance, thank you sooooo much!
