The time-based word length effect and stimulus set specificity.
The word length effect is the finding that short items are remembered better than long items on immediate serial recall tests. The time-based word length effect refers to this finding when the lists comprise items that vary only in pronunciation time. Three experiments compared recall of three different sets of disyllabic words that differed systematically only in spoken duration. One set showe...
متن کاملBackward recall and the word length effect.
The word length effect, the finding that words that have fewer syllables are recalled better than otherwise comparable words that have more syllables, is one of the benchmark effects that must be accounted for in any model of serial recall, and simulation models of immediate memory rely heavily on the finding. However, previous research has shown that the effect disappears when participants are...
متن کاملThe word-length effect and disyllabic words.
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 measures were obtained using auditory and ...
متن کاملVerbal Perception and the Word Length Effect
Retrieved-context models have played a crucial role in the understanding of serialposition effects in free recall. In this paper, a simple model in that class is proposed and tested against the case of word-length experiments. In recent years, standard interpretations of the word-length effect have been undermined by a series of experimental results, culminating with data that display an invers...
متن کاملComparison of Word-Based and Syllable-Based Retrieval for Tibetan
Tibetan retrieval based on automatically segmented words is compared with the use of overlapping syllable n-grams using a known-item retrieval evaluation. The optimal span of fixed-length n-grams is found to be 2 syllables, and indexing words is found to be as effective as indexing syllable bigrams.
