Abstract: | Anagram tasks are frequently used in cognitive research, and the generation of new scrambled letter combinations is a task
well suited to a software solution. Most available programs, however, do not allow experimenters to generate new anagrams
flexibly or to characterize existing anagrams using psycholinguistic criteria. They also do not provide detailed information
on their source dictionaries. We present anagram software that interfaces with CELEX2, an internationally recognized psycholinguistic
database. This software allows users to capitalize on lexical variables and thus enables direct control of psycholinguistic
features that may influence the cognitive processes involved in anagram solution. |
