Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psycholinguists typically find it easier to measure and manipulate variables related to comprehension (such as reaction times, accuracy, and eye movements) than variables related to production. Additionally, printed materials offer more standardized stimuli and easier control over variables like font size, spacing, and visual complexity. Verbal materials like spoken language are often more difficult to transcribe accurately and may vary in accent, intonation, or emphasis, which may create variability in the data. Therefore, the best answer is A, comprehension and printed materials.
