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.

Programmed word length computer

Proceedings of the 1967 22nd national conference on -, 1967
The concept of a programmable word length computer has evolved through an attempt to minimize wasted storage in any fixed word length computer. Whether the computer contains six bits per word or 72 bits per word, storage is inevitably wasted when it is necessary to use a full word for a simple on-off switch, or to have 12-digit capacity used for 2 ...

Word length, sentence length and frequency – Zipf revisited

Studia Linguistica, 2004
Abstract.  This paper examines data from English, Swedish and German in order to find a theoretical distribution that describes the observed relation between word length and frequency. In Swedish and English, most word tokens consist of three letters only, while shorter or longer words occur less frequently.

Word length effects on novel words: Evidence from eye movements

Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2013
The present study investigated the effects of word length on eye movement behavior during initial processing of novel words while reading. Adult skilled readers' eye movements were monitored as they read novel or known target words in sentence frames with neutral context preceding the target word.

The Word-Length Problem

2007
Abstract The word-length problem in Chinese refers to the fact that though the same expression can be composed of different numbers of syllables, there are restrictions on word-length combinations. The problem is illustrated in (1), transcribed in Pinyin. The number of syllables in each parallel sentence is given in parentheses.
