Word fragments and their redintegrative powers.

Abstract
Fragments of a word vary in their "redintegrative powers"; some elicit the whole word more readily than others. The initial fragment is the best cue and the middle fragment the poorest. This study generalized previous results to the case of medium- and low-frequency words using undergraduates. Word frequency did not affect success in cued recall, and the redintegrative pattern applied equally well to all levels of word frequency. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
