Knowledge of word length does not constrain word identification

Psychological Research, 2003
Use of word length for word identification was examined in three naming experiments and one sentence reading experiment in which a foveally presented cue either matched or mismatched the length of a subsequently presented target word. Properties of the target were also manipulated so that it was either a high- or low-frequency word or so that its ...

On the length of word chains

Information Processing Letters, 1987
Word chains are an extension of addition chains to words. We show that over a q-letter alphabet, any long enough word admits a word chain of length at most \((1+\epsilon)n/\log_ q n\), for a fixed arbitrary \(\epsilon >0\); there exist words with no chain shorter than \(n/\log_{q- 1} n\). Several examples are given. Finally, we show that words with few

The Word-length Effect and Disyllabic Words

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 2000
Three experiments compared immediate serial recall of disyllabic words that differed on spoken duration. Two sets of long- and short-duration words were selected, in each case maximizing duration differences but matching for frequency, familiarity, phonological similarity, and number of phonemes, and controlling for semantic associations. Serial recall
