Hi Holly,

I have a few suggestions for your page, it looks like you have a good idea of what topics you want to cover. Some of my suggestions are the same as Caroline's below so I will try and not repeat myself.

Frequency effect: - what is a frequent word? Are they the same for everyone or can frequent words differ between individuals?

I would also clarify the difference between neighborhood effect and competitors, they sound very similar. Maybe they could combine into one section of the article since the other two topic are very different from these? Just something to think about.

Also, it looks like you have a good start on your sources but having more information might help you expand your topic a little more.

Let me know if you have any questions! Anna Anelso (talk) 14:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning Holly!

Here are the edits/suggestions I have for your Word Recognition page:

Uniqueness point: - is "offset" a word that you have found used in your articles? If not, I'd use the word coda/end of word. If you do use linguistic jargon, you'll have to define it so that people not in this field can understand your article. - can you find any examples of when the uniqueness point occurs in some words?

Frequency Effect: - Can you explain how the frequency of a word affects recognition? If it has a higher frequency, does it get recognized easier/earlier? - Also, define what the frequency of a word is. - When talking about the frequency of a word, are you talking about how often it's used or how often it's heard or both?

Neighborhood Effect: - define phoneme - put in some examples!

Competitors: - explain this idea further - define a competitor and explain how it's different that the above effects if it is. - does this competition idea relate to uniqueness point? - this might be a good paragraph to start your page with because it is the most general one (at least so far)

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions! Lino08 (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
