Note. Word Length in characters. Word frequency is the natural log transformed rate of occurrence per million from the CoCA (Davies, 2008). Concreteness and Imageability are measured on a scale from 100 (low) to high (high). Rightmost columns present t-statistics comparing Expected (E), Unexpected (U), and Incongruent (I) conditions. Statistically significant t-statistics are bolded.
