Application of a Bayesian approach for exploring the impact of syllable frequency in handwritten picture naming

Adult studies in the fields of neurolinguistic and mental chronometry suggest that syllable plays a functional role handwritten word production. These support hypothesis syllabified orthographic representation stored graphemic buffer. However, there remains question cognitive mechanisms involved this encoding representations and, particular, processes related to syllable. In study reported here, we tested an syllabary long-term memory by exploring impact frequency on latencies. Thirty participants handwrote labels one hundred fifty images. Bayesian analyses indicated data absence effect frequency. We propose alternative account for results literature. This respects constraint
