大学生对828个同音词（发音相同但拼写不同的词）的主观熟悉程度进行了评分。高评分者之间的可靠性，以及相关的评级与其他公布的熟悉措施（r = 0.85）。熟悉度等级也与Kucera和Francis（1967）印刷频率测量的对数转换高度相关（r =.75）。然而，许多相同对数频率的单词在额定熟悉度上变化很大，反之亦然。为了确定这两个因素中的哪一个是更好的预测的口头执行，我们正交变化的词汇决策任务中的两个，并发现，对于中等频率的单词，额定熟悉度是迄今为止更好的预测。我们的结论是，即使印刷频率和额定的熟悉程度一般协变，印刷频率是一个不太可靠的指数的基本心理结构，词熟悉。
College students rated 828 homophonic words (words with the same pronunciation but different spellings) in terms of subjective familiarity. High interrater reliability was obtained, and the ratings correlated well with other published familiarity measures (r=.85). The familiarity ratings also correlated highly with log transforms of Kucera and Francis''s (1967) printed frequency measures (r=.75). However, many words of equal log frequency varied widely in rated familiarity, and vice versa. To determine which of these two factors was the better predictor of verbal performed, we orthogonally varied the two in a lexical decision task and found that, for words of moderate frequency, rated familiarity was by far the better predictor. We conclude that even though printed frequency and rated familiarity generally covary, printed frequency is a less reliable index of the underlying psychological construct, word familiarity.
