Subject: looking for literature on human error correction From: Toth Laszlo <tothl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 09:25:41 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear List, I'm looking for literature on experiments that attempt to measure the error correcting capabilities of humans based on linguistic context. I mean a kind of experiment that measures the "word error rate" of human subjects as a function of the number of typos (in the case of text) or phone errors (in the case of speech). I think that somebody must have done such experiments, but I couldn't find anything (quite probably because I've failed to figure out the proper search keywords...).
