Abstract:
A correlational analysis was performed to determine the relationship of anagram solving to both transition probability and word frequency. The results revealed that an index that combines solution-word and anagram transition probability by subtracting the latter from the former is significantly related to problem solution. Solution-word transition probability alone and the Thorndike-Lorge word count were both found to be uncorrelated to the solution of anagrams. A comparison of the Underwood-Schulz and Mayzner-Tresselt systems for calculating digram frequencies revealed that the two systems produced essentially comparable results except for the anagram transition probability variable where only the Mayzner-Tresselt system yielded a significant correlation.
