Measures of F0 change and amplitude also patterned with the duration data. The pitch excursion (maximum F0) was higher when the move was not predictable F1(1,19)=4.80, p <. 05; F(1,8)=15.08, p < .01. There was also a greater difference in pitch range (the difference between the maximum and minimum F0) for non-predictable moves than predictable moves, F1(1,19)=7.18, p < .05; F2(1,8)=24.54, p < .01. One might argue that the source of these F0 differences is attributable to duration. If the rising F0 for two words of unequal length have the same slope and starting point, the pitch excursion will be higher for the longer word because the time over which the F0 has to rise is greater. However, the minimum F0 in the non-important/non-predictable conditions was lower than in the important/predictable conditions, F1(1,19)=8.22, p < .05; F2(1,8)=10.85, p < .05, suggesting that the larger pitch difference for non-important moves was driven by an expanded pitch range rather than just differences in duration.

When your opponent follows by choosing the center square as their first move, you may still have a chance of winning if your opponent makes an error later in the game. Otherwise, each player's perfect series of moves will end in a draw. Your victory is assured if your opponent moves their O somewhere other than in the center square. Respond by placing your second X in a corner while keeping an empty square next to your initial X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcW3v3mUkZY When your opponent begins at tik tak to Your opponent's first move in a corner square To understand whether prominence is associated with speaker-centered or listener-centered processes, linguistic events associated with planning such as disfluencies and intonational boundaries were measured. If the acoustic marking of either predictability or importance is speaker-centered, they should co-occur with indicators of speaker difficulty. If X is not a perfect player, X may take 2 or 3 as a second move. Then this game will be a draw, X cannot win.George Cooper wrote the words and John Rogers Thomas wrote the music for a song "Tit, Tac, Toe" in 1876. [34]

Place your last X, if you selected the 3-corner configuration, either in the center location to win diagonally or one of the center side spots to succeed in a straight tic-tac-toe.Clark HH, Wasow T.
