The completed words were cut out with a scalpel and carefully placed in position.
Users who begin typing will be able to get completed words from a single letter by hitting the tab key, or choosing from a list that will be presented as they type.
The invention describes a way for touchscreen devices to suggest completed words after a user has part-typed them to speed up text input.
You can press "tab" to auto-complete any partially completed words while typing.
Everyone in the study who regularly did more to challenge their brains — reading, writing, attending lectures or completing word puzzles — did better on fluid intelligence tests than their counterparts who did less.
For half of the studied category-exemplar pairs, subjects practiced retrieval by completing word stems, followed by a delayed category-cued recall on all of the practiced and unpracticed items.
They found that African-Americans who thought the test measured intelligence were more likely to complete word fragments using words associated with relevant negative stereotypes (e.g., completing __mb as "dumb" rather than "numb").
This time, completing word fragments did not disambiguate the emotional valence of the scenarios and the comprehension questions had no emotional content.
Nor were there differences in training ability, as indicated by reaction times to completing word fragments and accuracy on comprehension questions.
Thus, participants in the high-intrinsic group, relative to the low-intrinsic group, allocated more time to attempting to complete word problems during the free-choice period (90.0 % and 11.2 %, respectively).
