Definición

  • A memory phenomenon characterized by a better immediate memory for short words than for long words.

Concepto genérico

Nota de alcance

  • The effect is more based on the time required to articulate the words than on the number of syllables. The effect is, however, more general since it has also been observed in delayed serial recall tasks and in immediate and delayed free recall tasks.
