Abstract
Humans are social creatures, and a large part of our communication skills are developed through reading and writing. Unlike typeface, handwriting is unique to each individual writer and can characterize a person. Our brain engages differently when reading and writing handwriting versus typeface. Similar to faces, handwriting is a complex visual stimulus containing multiple dimensions. This study looks at the effects of word length in handwriting perception using traditional psychophysical techniques. Recently, we have developed a set of standardized handwriting stimuli that we can use to investigate whether or not the perceived gender of handwriting depends on the number of letters within a word. Stimuli will be composed of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 letters and participants will rate the perceived gender of the handwriting. There are two alternative outcomes we expect to find with this study. Handwriting perception may reflect global visual processing (efficient processing) or local visual processing (inefficient processing). Department: Psychology Faculty Mentor: Dr. Nicole Anderson

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
