The decrement produced by phonological deviances was only significant in the case of long (six-syllable) stimuli. Results reveal a major detrimental effect caused by the presence of unfamiliar sound segments in the input. Special response assessment criteria were used in order to control for potential production effects such as an accent. A nonword repetition task was used to measure the recall of four stimulus types: (a) high-probability L1-sounding nonwords, (b) low-probability L1-sounding nonwords, (c) nonwords containing illegal L1 phoneme sequences, and (d) nonwords containing non-L1 sound segments. Abstract: This article reports on an experiment comparing the effects of three discrete types of deviance from native language (L1) phonetics and phonology on verbal short-term memory performance.
