The study was devised to determine empirically the pronounciability values of 200 nonsense syllables. The rating method of Underwood and Schulz (1960) was employed and 201 college Ss participated. Obtained data were highly reliable in reference to previous research and a marked relationship with m' values was found. Relationships with association value and speed of learning were also determined. It is anticipated that the obtained values will be useful as methodological aids in the design of verbal learning studies.
The scaling procedure and instructions to Ss were identical to those of Underwood and Schulz (1960); if more detailed information is desired, their work should be consulted. Ss were told to work at their own pace to complete the list.
