Abolishing the Word-Length Effect.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
The authors report 2 experiments that compare the recall of long and short words in pure and mixed lists. In pure lists, long words were much more poorly remembered than short words. In mixed lists, this word-length effect was abolished and both the long and short words were recalled as well as short words in pure lists.

Disfluency and Word Length

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1972
Five studies are reported in which the magnitude of the influence of word length upon the loci of instances of disfluency in the oral reading of stutterers and nonstutterers was investigated. The findings suggest that one factor which makes stutterers “unique”—differentiates them from nonstutterers—is not that they are more likely to be disfluent on ...

Fixed-word-length arrays in variable-word-length computers

Communications of the ACM, 1962
Scientific users of small-scale variable-word-length computers, such as the IBM 1401, may frequently have the occasion to use fixed-word-length arrays. For instance, it is common practice to store matrices row-wise in linear arrays. A linear array whose elements are addresses is a common storage allocation scheme for handling pushdown lists.

Word Length and Intelligibility

Language and Speech, 1959
Intelligibility tests were conducted with monosyllabic, bisyllabic and trisyllabic words under conditions of known and unknown message sets. Longer words were found to be more intelligible than shorter words in both known and unknown message sets.

Length vs. Order: Word length and clause length from the perspective of word order

Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, 1997
Abstract The present paper deals with two random variables: length of words and order of words (linear sequence, linear arrangement) in clauses of a text. The question to be answered is: What can a quantitative case study on Czech data add to our present knowledge of the relationship between the length of words and their placement in the clause?

CONTROLLING TWO CONFOUNDING VARIABLES IN WORD LENGTH: "VANISHED WORD-LENGTH EFFECT"

Reading Psychology, 2000
Lee (1999) argued that there would be two possible confounding variables in the word length effect. This study attempted to control those two variables. A possible confounding variable in the word-length effect is the neighborhood size. A shortword usually has more neighbors than a long word.Another confounding variable is different perceptual ...

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 ...

Word length coding in neglect dyslexia

Neuropsychologia, 1993
Single word reading was examined in two patients with left visual neglect. Both patients showed preservation of word length, which is the salient feature of neglect dyslexia. By varying lexical and contextual parameters we could, however, induce responses considerably shorter or longer than the stimuli.

Stuttering and Word Length

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1967
Fourteen young adult male stutterers read two lists of words, one list consisting of one-syllable word pairs, the second list consisting of two-syllable words phonetically equivalent to word pairs in the first list. Results show a significantly higher frequency of stuttering on two-syllable words.
