Table 5.
Correctly pronounced and mispronounced labels presented to infants in Experiment 1 of White and Morgan (2008). Note that only the onset consonant is changed and that the medial vowel remains unchanged. The unfamiliar words used by White and Morgan (2008) are not considered because they do not compete for recognition in TRACE. The table also includes the cohort size and Mean Neighbourhood Densities as a function of pronunciation type for the stimuli used in White and Morgan (2008).
