Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given string CQRN is a nonword as it does not form any meaningful word in English. Therefore, the feature-net account would not contribute to participants misperceiving it as CORN, as feature nets are generally unable to identify nonwords. Options A, B, and C would contribute to the effect by making the CO- detectors or O-detectors better primed and firing, even in the absence of the corresponding letter input.
