Table 2.

Word density and frequency measurements for the real word (RW) and non-word (NW) stimuli used in the study. These measurements were calculated using the Washington University in St. Louis Speech and Hearing Lab Neighborhood Database online calculator at: http://128.252.27.56/Neighborhood/Home.asp

NW	NW Density*	RW Match	RW Density	RW Frequency
ɹʌviŋ	0	reading	1	140
ɹikoʊ	1	ready	6	143
ɹoʊnə	0	really	4	275
ɹƐbɑɹ	1	river	4	165
ɹædiŋ	6	running	1	123

^*NW Density represents the number of real words that differ from the non-word by one phoneme. Specifically, the phonological form of the NW was inputted with the neighborhood criteria accounting for substitutions, deletions, and additions.
