What is poisoning Britain's exhibitions is the PR sophistication that has become so deeply ingrained in the way galleries and museums operate, that exhibitions – large and small – are now planned like television programmes, all big brash concepts and all too often, a by-the-numbers familiarity.
They have streetlights, and established communities, often organized around clan or village, that offer safety in numbers and familiarity.
These categories were matched on average familiarity, number of letters and number of phonemes.
Stimuli were distributed across four pseudo-randomised presentation lists, which did not differ on length (number of letters), familiarity, concreteness, number and frequency of orthographic neighbours, constrained (positional) bigram frequency, and frequency of word forms sharing constrained bigrams with the stimuli (analogous to the Coltheart N measure – Coltheart et al., 1977).
The physician participants' order of approach was randomized using computer-generated random numbers to avoid familiarity with the model for each subsequent approach.
These variables were adult written frequency (Beijing Language and Culture University, 1990), number of strokes, word familiarity in third graders, and word familiarity in fifth graders.
The latter has a number of benefits, including familiarity to developers, close mapping to implementations, and commercial tool support.
See Figure 2 figure supplement 2 for results from a model in which the number of recollection and familiarity trials were matched between delays.
Words were divided into two lists of 44, matched for length (4 6 letters), number of syllables (one), familiarity (550 700), and imageability (450 600).
