1. Nonword repetition: effects of item length and complexity Carolyn McGettigan Frank Eisner Chloe Marshall Sophie Scott

2. Paradigm Delayed nonword repetition Two factors: –Phonotactic complexity (zero vs. two consonant clusters) –Length (2 vs. 4 syllables) tok@ltegazok@l tronk@ltregazonk@l Length Complexity
