This experiment was the first attempt to quantify claims that simplified Chinese characters are acquired and retained with greater ease than their standard counterparts, on the assumption that the reduced graphical complexity of simplified characters facilitates memorization. Fifty subjects having no background in reading Chinese (a necessary prerequisite in order to avoid practice effects) were randomly assigned to simplified or traditional test conditions and given a set of 30 characters with their English glosses to memorize in a 10 minute controlled time interval. Afterward, they performed a computer-based recall test which sequentially presented 50 characters from their respective lists and prompted them to provide the corresponding English gloss. The number of correct responses for each subject was reported as a percentage score, and the means of subjects in each test condition were averaged and compared via t-test, p<0.05. Implications of the results and suggested modifications for related future experiments were discussed.
