MorphoPLay

This project aims to create a test to assess morphological knowledge, based on a set of scrupulously controlled items that allow assessment using reference reaction-time values from a lexical decision task.

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

Keywords: Assessment, Lexical Processing,  Morphological Knowledge, Virtual Word Games
