Abstract

Four lexical training lists were administered in a 2 by 2 factorial experiment. The lists were constructed to reflect two levels of approximation to English (a nonsyntactical word order and an English paragraph) and two levels of word association. A significant interaction was obtained for each of several retention measures employed. The data support the view that high frequency associates, when incorporated into natural language discourse, load the passage with high frequency phrases (cliches) and make a high approximation to English still higher.
