The world through Kids’ eyes

Without a doubt this was the song of 2008 for me, so it is great to see a music video with a difference to go with it.

Speed of word processing: Size matters.


“A new study shows that we're faster at processing words that refer to big things than we are at processing words that denote small things.
It is suggested that a reason why bigger items might generate faster responses is related to imageability. While both bigger and smaller items can be equally highly imageable, it may be that the relative speed of accessing a stored visual representation is faster when the object is bigger.”
