After having designed the materials for my first experiment, I ran two piloting versions. On January, I ran a prepilot with three people who knew about the goal of the study. That was done so that I could make sure that the instructions and the stimuli were clear enough. This first prepilot allowed me to detect some aspects that could be improved, such as certain stimuli transitions or the form of a few words that could interfere with the participants’ mother tongue. Having enhanced these parts, in March I ran a pilot with three different people who did not know about the phenomenon under investigation, so that they would act as real participants. The experiment seemed to run successfully, so no major changes were applied; however, it was useful to reduce the length of the first experimental phase, which seemed to be too long.
