Thomas K. Landauer (Pearson Knowledge Technologies) The recently created word maturity (WM) metric uses the computational language model LSA to mimic the average evolutionary growth of individual word and paragraph knowledge as a function of the total amount and order of simulated reading. The simulator traces the separate growth trajectories of an unlimited number of different words from the beginning of reading to adult level.
