The 99 respondents in this study rated 55 paired stem-responses according to eight different criteria. One of those criteria concerned semantic complexity . Respondents rated items in terms of a 5-point scale in which "5" denoted high semantic complexity and "1" low semantic complexity. Respondents had the option of not rating items they felt uncertain of. Moreover, if a respondent wasn't present for this phase of the study, a "no response" rating was recorded. |
