Parametric effects of word frequency in memory for mixed frequency lists.
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 39(6) of Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition (see record 2013-27860-001). In the article there were omissions in Figure 1. All versions of this article have been corrected.] The word frequency paradox refers to the finding that low frequency words are better recognized than high frequency words y...
متن کاملSerial recall, word frequency, and mixed lists: the influence of item arrangement.
Studies of the effect of word frequency in the serial recall task show that lists of high-frequency words are better recalled than lists of low-frequency words; however, when high- and low-frequency words are alternated within a list, there is no difference in the level of recall for the two types of words, and recall is intermediate between lists of pure frequency. This pattern has been argued...
متن کاملPredicting and postdicting the effects of word frequency on memory.
In the experiments reported here, I replicate and extend recent results that reveal that judgments about the memorability of common and uncommon words differ qualitatively depending on whether they are made during study or elicited during a recognition test (Guttentag & Carroll, 1998). When assessing recognition ability for individual words, subjects predict superior performance for common word...
متن کاملModified Makagonov’s Method for Testing Word Similarity and its Application to Constructing Word Frequency Lists
By (morphologically) similar wordforms we understand wordforms (strings) that have the same base meaning (roughly, the same root), such as sadly and sadden. The task of deciding whether two given strings are similar (in this sense) has numerous applications in text processing, e.g., in information retrieval, for which usually stemming is employed as an intermediate step. Makagonov has suggested...
متن کاملSemantic priming increases word frequency judgments: Evidence for the role of memory strength in frequency estimation.
Previous research has demonstrated a systematic, nonlinear relationship between word frequency judgments and values from word frequency norms. This relationship could reflect a perceptual process similar to that found in the psychophysics literature for a variety of sensory phenomena. Alternatively, it could reflect memory strength differences that are expected for words of varying levels of pr...
