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...).
