Clean data is when you exclude participants when they data is a poor example of addressing your aim

Use the filter option in sort and filter open to singulate needed data Eg. Before doing the colour blind test, we excluded people who scored incorrectly on plates. We only tested stroop and kept the results of people who could see colour. Also excluded left handed people due to their hemispheres in the brain. We thought this could taint the data (right hemisphere language dominance supposed to be 4x stronger than left handed people) Also excluded people who didn’t have corrected vision on the day. So people who have glasses but didn’t bring them/use them in experiment. (Column T)

Also excluded people who had a history of neurological disorders Also only kept people from ages 18-30 even though no one was outside this data. People over 30 could have slower reaction times which could affect the data. People below 18 could have also been too fast.

Since we are focused on the languages aspect, look to see if there’s greater automaticity for someone who’s had a 2nd language from birth as opposed to only studying it for a few years

Executive control and automaticity – how we recognise these words based on our language preferences and how well we know our 2nd language and how we can know or wrote ot...
