Is there a temporal basis of the word length effect? A response to Service (1998)
Article Abstract:
A study investigating the effect of word duration and pronunciation complexity on serial recall provides evidence to refute findings from a similar study using Finnish words. Results of the present study indicate that both duration and complexity contribute to decreased performance in the serial recall of words.

Memory-search and rehearsal processes and the word length effect in immediate recall: a synthesis in reply to Service
Article Abstract:
The word length effect occurs when the duration and phonemic complexity of words inhibit immediate serial recall. As an explanation of these findings, a theoretical model is presented suggesting that time needed for memory search and rehearsal processes is reduced by long lists and complex words.
