Typoglycemia Level and Cognitive Processing Time

Abstract

If all the characters at the head and tail of words are fixed, humans can read weird sentences in which some characters exchange their positions. The phenomenon is called typoglycemia. However, the relationship between the complexity level of typoglycemia and the reader's ability to recognize it is unclear. To disclose the relationship, we have defined the typoglycemia level and developed the experimental platform ReadabilityTest. This study presents the intention and overview of our challenge, and the results of the experiment reveal tendencies in the recognition process time for reading such typogricemified sentences.
