Rearranging Letters in a Word In my investigation I am going to investigate the number of different arrangements of letters in a word. e.g. Tim Is one arrangement Mit Is another First I am going to investigate how many different arrangements in the name LUCY, which has no letters the same. LUCY LUYC LYCU LYUC LCYU LCUY ULCY UCLY UYLC ULYC UCYL There are 4 different letters and there are 24different arrangements. SAM SMA MSA MAS ASM AMS There are 3 different letters in this name and 6 different arrangements. JO OJ There are 2 different letters in this name and there are 2 different arrangements. UYCL YCUL YUCL YULC YLCU YLUC CYLU CYUL CUYL CULY CLUY Table of Results ================ Number of Letters Number of Different Arrangements 2 2 3 6 4 24 5 120 6 720 7 5040 From the table of results I have found out that a 2 letter word has 2 arrangements, and a 3 letter word has 6. Taking for example a 3 letter word, I have worked out that if we do 3 (the length of the word) x 2 = 6, the number of different arrangements. In a 4 letter word, to work out the amount of different arrangements you can do 4 x 3 x 2 = 24, or you can do 4!, which is called 4 factorial which is the same as 4 x 3 x 2. So, by using factorial (!) I can predict that there will be 40320 different arrangements for an 8 letter word. The formula for this is: n! = a
The way the experiment was set it; the researches got college students to learn a list of foreign words that they have never seen before. They were given a bunch of words in Swahili-English words. The list contained 40 wor...
I am going to record the number of letters in each of the first 100
Ebbinghaus used nonsense syllables to demonstrate this experiment. Nonsense syllables are three letter combinations usually consisting of a consonant-vowel-consonant combination. These combinations which included some 2300, were not word and therefore did not make sense, hence the term "nonsense." He used these so-called nonsense syllables in order to discourage how the prior existence of the meanings may influence learning of the present. He used nonsense syllables in order to prevent complications in the experiment and its results.
letters in it. I will also try and find a formula to find the total
Usually in the game, only integers are used to make a result of 24. However, in some difficult 24 game questions, fraction calculation is required. For example: 2, 5, 5, 10 can be calculated as (5 − 2 ÷ 10) × 5 which is 24 over 5 multiplied by 5.

Evidence for the existence of the phonological loop comes from Baddeley (1966 in Passer, 2009) They examined the word length effect in which they presented participants with visual presentations of word lists and asked them to write t...
“When letters are put together, they can mean so much, and they can mean nothing at all,” said Nora Raleigh Baskin in her book Anything But Typical. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and some people know exactly how to arrange them so that they mean so much. Words, sentences, quotes - can show you how to live, help you understand feelings, and can stay in your mind forever.

While she knew that Jaclyn was resistant to reading instruction, she also knew that Jaclyn had a great interest in music. For that reason, she typed up lyrics to Jaclyn's favorite song in a 20-font print, and asked her to read the words, which she did without any error (Hines, 2010). Hines continued to have Jaclyn read the lyrics as she charted her speed and accuracy (Hines, 2010). After that, Hines highlighted 10 high-frequency words and asked Jaclyn to read them (Hines, 2010). Upon reading a certain high-frequency word, Jaclyn made a flashcard for that word (Hines, 201). These flashcards were used every day, and once Jaclyn identified a specific word automatically five times she put away that flashcard and created a new one (Hines, 2010). Then Hines introduced words that have,"… the same rime pattern as mastered key words from the lyrics" (Hines, 2010). For these rime family words, Jaclyn also created flashcards (Hines, 2010). The words in the rime family were also incorporated into Jaclyn's spelling program (Hines, 2010). Once Jaclyn could read the song fluently, identify the high-frequency words by themselves, and read and spell all of the rime family words, she moved on to another
...ter may use several words that can be grouped together into one word. An example of this would be :

The words in the centre column can be broken down into parts, as indicated in the right-hand column. It is not obvious that those in the left-hand column can be factored in the same way.
