Abstract
In Experiment I after an initial presentation of 1 or 2 to-be-recalled triarams, E either spelled the items, pronounced them, or said related words. Pronunciation did not facilitate recall, whereas the related words did. Experiment II showed that the failure to find facilitatory effects of pronunciation in Experiment I was due to whether E or S did the spelling and pronouncing.
