The effect of word familiarity on actual and perceived text difficulty.
There is little evidence that readability formula outcomes relate to text understanding. The potential cause may lie in their strong reliance on word and sentence length. We evaluated word familiarity rather than word length as a stand-in for word difficulty. Word familiarity represents how well known a word is, and is estimated using word frequency in a large text corpus, in this work the Goog...
متن کاملThe Bristol norms for age of acquisition, imageability, and familiarity.
Ratings of age of acquisition (AoA), imageability, and familiarity were collected for 1,526 words. The methodology made use of a modular approach, in which the full sample of words was divided into five separate blocks. Within each block, each word was rated on each of the three variables by 20 participants (undergraduate students from the University of Bristol). Analyses comparing these rating...
متن کاملMelodic Memory and Its Dependence on Familiarity and Difficulty
This paper addresses one aspect of human music cognition, which is the recollection of melodic sequences stored in short-term memory, and the manipulation of such items in working memory, by measuring spans of successfully recalled melodic sequences. In order to avoid long-term memory collaboration in this task, short-term memory measurements are made using randomly-generated melodic sequences,...
متن کاملPopulating a framework for Readability Analysis Word frequency = word difficulty
This paper discusses a computational approach to readability that is expected to lead eventually towards a new and configurable metric for text readability. Our research involves the elaboration, implementation and evaluation of an 8-part framework that requires consideration of both textual and cognitive factors such as language, vocabulary, background knowledge, motivation and cognitive load....
متن کاملWord-form familiarity bootstraps infant speech segmentation.
At about 7 months of age, infants listen longer to sentences containing familiar words - but not deviant pronunciations of familiar words (Jusczyk & Aslin, 1995). This finding suggests that infants are able to segment familiar words from fluent speech and that they store words in sufficient phonological detail to recognize deviations from a familiar word. This finding does not examine whether i...
