INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that people can read jumbled words if only the first and last letters are correct?

Unclear. Two peer-reviewed sources note that people read jumbled words effortlessly, but neither tests the specific claim that reading works when only the first and last letters are correct.
