Automation of this process can give a very good memory cognitive Science, Federal University Of Agriculture Abeokuta test tool, the method behind this automation is anagram orthographic similarity measure. Correspondence Aim: The purpose of this research is to study existing anagram Raji-Lawal Hanat Y., Department of Computer Science, Faculty of orthographic similarity measures, to deduce their strengths and Science, Lagos State University weaknesses, for further improvement. Ojo, Lagos, Nigeria Materials and Methods: Experiments were carried out on the measures, Email:

Result: Experiment revealed that brute force has a very poor processing time, while sorting and neighbourhood frequency does not have issues with processing time. Conclusion: The research revealed that existing anagram orthographic similarity measures are not suitable for character position verification and evaluation of syllabic complexity which are essential measures of working memory capacity. Keywords: Cognition, orthography, similarity measures, bi-anagram, word permutation. All co-authors agreed to have their names listed as authors.
