We are skilled context resolvers.<br /><br />As pointed out, the 3 and 4 letter words make up the bulk of our everyday vocabulary. Many 5 letter words are easy as well.<br /><br />We should all be able to read: “My mom siad to me taht tish sduty is wnorg”<br /><br />As the author of this blog pointed out, a sentence with all big words is next to impossible to read in the same way.<br /><br />The reason the phenomenon still works with some larger words thrown in there is because of our strong contextual resolution and neural firing. A related ability to resolve unknown words in context will serve as a good example of this.<br /><br />Consider this passage: “I was testing the hottest new PETCO product with my dog Fido. I took the new Pachuchu and hurled it with all my strength. Fido jumped into the air, grabbed it with his teeth, and brought it back to me.” In this passage, most of us would understand that a Pachuchu was some sort of toy or object like a Frisbee or stick. It is some gadgetry of sorts that is somehow like other things we use to play catch or fetch with our dogs. The context of the passage helped us understand that new word.<br /><br />Now consider the previous scrambled example with a few larger additions:<br /><br />“My mom siad to me taht tish sduty is wnorg. It is a lie. She siad it is flsae to bieleve in teshe slliy gmaes. Tehy are ricuuidlos and utnure.”<br /><br />Most of us can still read this even though there are words of 5, 6, 7, and even a 10 letters. This passage as a whole contains sufficient information to "fire" contextual neurons that can help us "resolve" a scrambled word (in context) without actually having to do much work. In a way, it sort of functions as an unknown word until we can 'test' the solution and proceed forward reading the sentence. The easy words such as “wrong”, “lie” and “false” put into context the bigger words “believe”, “ridiculous” and “untrue”. Those related “in context” neurons are firing at low levels before we actually encounter them and they can more easily be resolved because they are already in context (firing at low levels in our brain).<br /><br />I have not seen this explanation in any white papers or studies. I am simply sharing my observation.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />-lkwFeelzy Inchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564265104789478120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-361472838777730002011-08-26T19:17:56.016-05:002011-08-26T19:17:56.016-05:00Amazing that most posts are spelt wrong, in the wr...Amazing that most posts are spelt wrong, in the wrong context or just purely wrong!!!!!

While the definition may be in a roman serif face, the lead word in the dictionary entry is usually sans serif, so it is easier to scan those lead words letter by letter. <br /><br />An experienced reader is more capable of interpreting those "jumbled Cambridge words" because of their general shape, which is improved by keeping the first and last letter intact. Having a more developed vocabulary is also an asset in this recognition. <br /><br />Yes, it is true that many words are short, and they do not get jumbled very much. And it is probably true that some jumbled words get derived by the context of their location in the sentence. I would also agree that the contention of the "Cambridge" study is not absolute proof of the "power of the human mind", but rather the result of repetitious experience of reading large amounts of text over time—especially those of a visual learner.<br /><br />Another thing to consider is that the rules for typesetting for print are different than the rules for typesetting on the web. While print can display typical reading type (roman serif) at 10-12 points in size very accurately and sharply, the resolution commonly used on the web makes usage of roman serif type at that same 10-12 point size not as sharp. Web text at that same size are sharper with sans serif faces, which reduce the ability to detect word shape. As a result, I would argue that a person's word shape recognition ability is better on a printed sheet in a roman serif typeface than on a web page with a sans serif typeface.<br /><br />In conclusion, just because a story has a fabricated source, it does not destroy all of those truths that are valid. It is sad that those word shape recognition truths are discredited by trying to make more out of this legitimate human perception. <br /><br />Historically speaking, if there is no validity to word shape recognition, there are a lot of type designers, typographers, and graphic artists that have been wasting their time for centuries—well before the "Cambridge study" was allegedly done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-9971657938385917872010-12-01T05:34:53.611-06:002010-12-01T05:34:53.611-06:00cool article providing a real information.cool article providing a real information.Robbinhttp://aboutstudentloans.org/noreply@blogger.com
