Word Frequency Affects Hypermnesia
Psychological Reports, 1996Hypermnesia, the tendency of participants to recall more items from a list they have studied when they are asked to recall the list several times on a free-recall test, is enhanced by factors that lead to better performance on free-recall tests. This study tested the hypothesis that words which appear with high frequency in the English language would ...

On the Frequency of Factors in a D0L Word
J. Autom. Lang. Comb., 1998We study the frequency of factors in a D0L word on an alphabet $\Sigma$, which is known to constitute a probability measure on the set of all sequences on $\Sigma$. For the general case, we obtain a recurrence formula describing the frequency of a given word.

Estimating Word-Association Frequencies
Psychological Reports, 196814 Ss were given the 6 strongest associates to stimulus words chosen from the Kent-Rosanoff list and asked to estimate the frequency with which each associate occurred. The results indicate a striking tendency for Ss to match the obtained norms throughout the portions of the hierarchy tested.

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
Booth's results are based on Zipf's (1949) well-known relationship between the probability of occurrence, p(r), and the corresponding rank, r, of a word. Booth's (1967) law is widely used to model the incidence of low frequency words in English text. Fedorowicz (1981, 1982) used it below to study automated bibliographic systems.

Learning as a Function of Word-Frequency
The American Journal of Psychology, 1954The experimental work of Howes and Solomon has indicated a high inverse relationship between the frequency with which a word appears in the language (as indicated by the Thorndike-Lorge word count1) and the duration of time required for S to perceive it.2 In an effort to provide a more exact statement of this relationship, Solomon and Postman ...

Word frequency as a cue for identifying function words in infancy
Cognition, 2010While content words (e.g., 'dog') tend to carry meaning, function words (e.g., 'the') mainly serve syntactic purposes. Here, we ask whether 17-month old infants can use one language-universal cue to identify function word candidates: their high frequency of occurrence. In Experiment 1, infants listened to a series of short, naturally recorded sentences

Color Recognition and Word Frequency
The American Journal of Psychology, 1972It has been found that the ease of recognizing or remembering a color is directly related to frequency of use of that color name. If Brown and Lenneberg (1954) and Lenneberg (1961) are correct, this phenomenon is a linguistic one. If Horowitz, Norman, and Day (1966) are correct, it is perceptual in nature, since "the most codable color names (high ...

Age of Acquisition, Word Frequency, and Picture–Word Interference
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2010In two experiments participants named pictures superimposed with unrelated words. The age of acquisition (AoA) of the picture names was manipulated. Additionally, the word frequency (WF, Experiment 1) or AoA (Experiment 2) of the interfering distractor words was manipulated.
