We will exclude all participants who are not native German speakers and who will indicate a correct hypothesis in comments to the experiment. Based on previous experiments with the same materials, we will screen the responses for their “suspiciousness” before the analysis. As suspicious will be considered responses that will contain all same answers for a scenario or sequences of responses indicating that participants did not base their ratings on names of items – e.g. decreasing or increasing sequences such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2… The exclusion will be done by an experimenter blinded to the experimental condition of a participant and before any analysis.
We will compare differences of mean ratings of easily and hard pronounceable items using t-tests.
