“…In serial recall PSE occurred for words and was reversed with nonwords, consistent with previous findings. The positive PSE on nonword recall has now been established as a robust effect that occurs with different types of phonological similarity , across different presentation rates (Lian et al, 2001), with auditorily and visually presented nonword trigrams Karlsen & Lian, 2005;Nimmo & Roodenrys, 2005, in press), as well as with two-and three-syllable nonwords (Luotoniemi et al, Submitted;Service & Maury, 2003;Service et al, 2005). In serial reconstruction, on the other hand, words and nonwords behaved in much the same way in the current study.…”
