Abstract

Words of 1 to 5 syllables were presented orally to 192 students in a voice training class. Recall was tested by written response and recognition by checking a list of words. Syllabic length does not seem to be a determining factor in immediate recall or recognition of words. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
