Tanner, Linda R. – 1976
This study investigates the effect of word frequency on reading comprehension, in relation to type of content, vocabulary instruction method, student sex, and question type. Subjects, 120 sixth-grade readers, responded to three types of comprehension questions after reading two types of stories. Each subject had previously received one of three…

PDF pending restorationBritish Council, London (England). English-Teaching Information Centre. – 1973
This bibliography is divided into five sections. The first section cites bibliographies relevant to the study of word frequency, while the second section gives references to word lists. The third and fourth parts deal with general vocabulary studies and related articles, respectively. The fifth section concerns structural frequency counts, with…

Barton, Ian J.; And Others – 1973
A novel text analysis and characterization method involves the generation from text samples of sets of variable-length character strings. These sets are intermediate in number between the character set and the total number of words in a data base; their distribution is less disparate than those of either characters or words. The size of the sets…

Fogel, Marc – 1969
The exponential growth in the literature of most fields has produced a near crisis situation for the people who provide storage and retrieval facilities for this same literature. One useful tool suggested for anyone interested in mechanizing the process of information storage and retrieval requires that vocabulary used in the system be divided…

Wingo, Charles E.; And Others – 1972
A study was devised to determine which of two instructional methods (conventional instruction or videotape presentations of structured material in addition to classroom instruction, discussion, and demonstration) would be more helpful in teaching prospective teachers how to teach work recognition skills to children. The videotaped materials…

Felsenthal, Norman A.; Felsenthal, Helen – 1972
A computer program called TEXAN (Textual Analysis of Language Samples) was developed for use in calculating frequency of characters, words, punctuation units, and stylistic variables. Its usefulness in determining readability levels was examined in an analysis of language samples from 20 elementary tradebooks used as supplementary reading…

Peer reviewedBruder, Gail A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1978
Three experiments assessed the effect of visual familiarity of words on "same-different" reaction times (RTs) in a simultaneous-matching task. All three studies showed visual familiarity to be responsible for differences in slope over sequence length between words and nonwords. (Editor/RK)

Peer reviewedWallace, William P.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1978
Two experiments investigated word-frequency effects with modified recall and recognition testing conditions. The procedural modifications included introducing partial copy cues and including irrelevant partial copy cues (distractor cues) in recall, and eliminating distractors from recognition tests. Words with high background frequency (HF) were…

Peer reviewedBecker, Norbert – Zielsprache Deutsch, 1977
A statistical study produced a list of 350 highly "learnworthy" words from the specialized medical vocabulary of German, for the benefit of English-, French-, and Spanish-speaking students. The words are ranked and listed according to frequency, range, and difficulty of learning. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Hasher, Lynn; Chromiak, Walter – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Aspects of the processing of frequency information were investigated in two studies. The first showed that second graders were as prepared to process frequency differences as adults. The second showed that practice at frequency counting does not improve the performance of young adults and neither does feedback regarding earlier performance.…

Umeda, Iwao – IRAL, 1987
Points out that the "-ed" participle forms of psychological verbs such as "amuse,""offend,""disappoint," etc. are gaining increasing grammatical acceptance since the "by"-agentive phrase (passive construction) and the adverb "very" co-occur in everyday usage. Results of experiments done…
