Which one is it?

You will see made-up words from a language nobody speaks, each with two shapes. Decide which shape the word is the name of.

1. Read the word and say it quietly to yourself.
2. Pick one of the two shapes. There are no right or wrong answers. Go with your first impression.
3. 36 words, one at a time. Every pair of shapes is new.

Your answers are stored anonymously under a random code, with no name and no student number, and pooled with the rest of the class.
