“…Jacoby & Dallas, 1981;Kolers, 1976). There is also evidence that prior study of words (e.g., glass) facilitates later unscrambling of those words (aglss) (Dominowski & Ekstrand, 1967). We hypothesized that prior exposure to key words would increase one's confidence in autobiographical events containing those key words.…”

“…It is also generally assumed that words differ in availability and that this intervening variable underlies the facilitating effects of solution word frequency and associative priming on anagram solving (Dominowski and Ekstrand, 1967).…”

A sample of 45 student subjects provided solution scores for 80 five-letter anagrams. These scores were analysed as a function of solution word imagery, concreteness, familiarity, objective frequency, age-of-acquisition and associative meaningfulness using multiple regression techniques. T w o bigram measures together with number of vowels, nature of starting letter (vowel or consonant), anagram pronounceability and anagram-solution similarity scores were also entered into the regression equations. The bigram measures, the starting letter and anagram-solution similarity emerged as having significant associations with the solution scores. Previous reports of imagery effects in anagram are discussed in the light of the present results.

“…Such data point to directive aspects of potential solution words because effects of theile variables have to occur befo re the word is actually discovered. This is related to the general priming position (33) which states that anagram solutions are facilitated when solvers are initially acquainted (i.e. primed) with words associatively related to the solution word set.…”
