Experimental Study of the Shortest Reset Word of Random Automata [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In this paper we describe an approach to finding the shortest reset word of a finite synchronizing automaton by using a SAT solver. We use this approach to perform an experimental study of the length of the shortest reset word of a finite synchronizing ...

Information content versus word length in random typing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recently, it has been claimed that a linear relationship between a measure of information content and word length is expected from word length optimization and it has been shown that this linearity is supported by a strong correlation between information

Spelling impairments in Spanish dyslexic adults.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Spelling deficits have repeatedly been observed in children with dyslexia. However, the few studies addressing this issue in dyslexic adults have reported contradictory results.

The Phonology of Children's Early Words: Trends, Individual Variation, and Parents' Accommodation in Child-Directed Speech

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication, 2019
The mental lexicon is dynamic and changes throughout the lifespan, but how does it begin? Previous research has established that children's first words depend on their communicative needs, but also on their phonetic repertoire and phonological ...

Omit needless words: Sentence length perception

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
Short sentences improve readability. Short sentences also promote social justice through accessibility and inclusiveness. Despite this, much remains unknown about sentence length perception—an important factor in producing readable writing. Accordingly, we conducted a psychophysical study using procedures from Signal Detection Theory to examine ...

Periods and borders of random words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the behavior of the periods and border lengths of random words over a fixed alphabet. We show that the asymptotic probability that a random word has a given maximal border length $k$ is a constant, depending only on $k$ and the alphabet ...

An item/order tradeoff explanation of word length and generation effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
[Abstract]: The item-order hypothesis suggests that under certain conditions increased item processing can lead to deficits in order processing, and that this produces a dissociation in performance between item and order tasks.

Quadratic Word Equations with Length Constraints, Counter Systems, and Presburger Arithmetic with Divisibility

open access: yes, 2018
Word equations are a crucial element in the theoretical foundation of constraint solving over strings, which have received a lot of attention in recent years. A word equation relates two words over string variables and constants.

Generalized de Bruijn words for Primitive words and Powers

open access: yes, 2015
We show that for every $n \geq 1$ and over any finite alphabet, there is a word whose circular factors of length $n$ have a one-to-one correspondence with the set of primitive words.

Textual attributes on integrated reporting quality: Evidence in Asia and Europe

open access: yesCogent Business & Management, 2022
Textual attribute integrated reporting refers to the difficulty level of readability and word length (narrative) of the information disclosed. The conciseness of information requires minimizing the length of words (narrative), offset by the increased ...
