Group predictions of item differences of cvc trigrams

2 groups of 21 Ss ranked 20 CVC trigrams, which represented the full-range of meaningfulness values according to established norms, for either pronunciability or ease of learning, and then recalled the trigrams incidentally. 2 additional groups of 21 Ss learned the trigrams by free learning and then ranked the trigrams for either pronunciability or ease of learning. Correlations between mean ranks, group learning measures, and meaningfulness were fairly high.
