Righting errors in writing errors: The Wing and Baddeley (1980) spelling error corpus revisited
Alan Miles Wing, Alan Baddeley · Cognitive Neuropsychology · 2009
We present a new analysis of our previously published corpus of handwriting errors (slips) using the proportional allocation algorithm of Machtynger and Shallice (2009). As previously, the proportion of slips is greater in the middle of the word than at the ends, however, in contrast to before, the proportion is greater at the end than at the beginning of the word. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis of memory effects in a graphemic output buffer.
