Contextual Facilitation in a Letter Search Task Depends on How the Prime Is Processed.

Peer reviewed

Smith, Marilyn Chapnik – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979

Contextual facilitation appears to depend upon the mode of analysis of the prime. If the prime is analyzed as a meaningful unit, facilitation occurs. However, if it is subjected to a more discrete, letter-by-letter analysis, the priming effect vanishes. (Author/CP)

Characteristics of Words Determining How Easily They Will Be Translated into a Second Language.

Peer reviewed

Murray, David J. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1986

A study analyzing word characteristics that make them more easily translated from English to French (or vice versa) indicates that translation efficacy is most strongly influenced by the frequency of the word in the language, its familiarity, and the similarity of the French equivalent to the English word.
