MorphoPLay

The goal of this project is to create a test to assess morphological knowledge, based on a set of scrupulously controlled items that allow basing the assessment on reference values for reaction times to a lexical decision task.

This goal allows us to contribute, in an innovative way, to fill the gaps in the assessment of morphological awareness and also to strengthen the relationship between research and society.
