Abstract
Pronounciability rating, failed to predict ease of learning in two studies employing doubly homogeneous lists (with respect to PR and form-class). When both PR and form-class or form-class alone were mixed within lists, PR has been shown to predict learning. In the present study, PR alone was mixed and found to predict ease of learning.
