A cognitive psychologist investigated the relationship between semantic vocabulary depth and abstract reasoning ability. She used a correlational design with a self-selected sample of 40 university students.
Each participant completed a semantic vocabulary test. This test involved identifying antonyms for a list of 15 words and answering 15 closed questions to assess their understanding of the meaning of complex words. The participants' abstract reasoning ability was then measured using a visual pattern completion task.
Write a closed question that could have been used in the vocabulary test to assess a participant's understanding of the meaning of a specific word.
