Winawer Et Al

Multiple Choice

Winawer et al. (2007) presented English and Russian speakers with a blue sample stimulus. They also were shown two blue comparison stimuli. One comparison stimulus matched the shade of the sample stimulus, and one comparison stimulus was of a different shade. Participants were asked to identify which of the two comparison stimuli matched the sample stimulus. This research found that:

A) Russian speakers took longer than English speakers to make this determination when one comparison stimulus was dark blue and the other comparison stimulus was light blue.
B) English speakers took longer than Russian speakers to make this determination when one comparison stimulus was dark blue and the other comparison stimulus was light blue.
C) Russian speakers took longer than English speakers to make this determination when all three stimuli were shades of light blue.
D) American speakers took longer than English speakers to make this determination when all three stimuli were shades of dark blue.
