Beyond Monosyllables: Word Length and Spoken Word Recognition
Most empirical work in spoken word recognition has focused on monosyllabic words, and most theories and models are limited to monosyllables either in scope or in practice (in that the theories' predictions for polysyllabic words have largely been unexplored). We add to the small number of studies to date explicitly comparing recognition of monoand polysyllabic words with a study examining time ...
متن کاملInfluence of Word Length on Handwriting Recognition
Two strategies can be considered in handwriting recognition: phrase or word approaches. In this paper we want to demonstrate the superiority of the phrase one, especially in city name recognition. The performances of an HMM-based off-line system using an analytic approach with explicit segmentation are evaluated on 2 databases: (i) city names in full and (ii) city names in single words. A diffe...
متن کاملSyllabic length effects in visual word recognition and naming.
Two experiments investigated the role of the number of syllables in visual word recognition and naming. Experiment 1 (word and nonword naming) showed that effects of number of syllables on naming latencies were observed for nonwords and very low-frequency words but not for high-frequency words. In Experiment 2 (lexical decision), syllabic length effects were also obtained for very low-frequency...
متن کاملWord Length and the Structure of Short-Term Memory
A number of experiments explored the hypothesis that immediate memory span is not constant, but varies with the length of the words to be recalled. Results showed: (1) Memory span is inversely related to word length across a wide range of materials; (2) When number of syllables and number of phonemes are held constant, words of short temporal duration are better recalled than words of long dura...
متن کاملWord-length effects in immediate memory: Overwriting trace decay theory.
Memory is worse for items that take longer to pronounce, even when the items are equated for frequency, number of syllables, and number of phonemes. Current explanations of the word-length effect rely on a time-based decay process within the articulatory loop structure in working memory. Using an extension of Nairne's (1990) feature model, we demonstrate that the approximately linear relationsh...
