Two hundred sixteen German nouns of medium frequency were
drawn from CELEX database using WordGen v1.0 software (Duyck
et al., 2004). Eighteen lists of 12 words each were prepared. Words in
each list were chosen in such a way that each word had a unique first
letter. Across lists, words were matched on frequency and word length;
the assignment of words to lists was kept constant for all participants.
Across study-test cycles, order of the 18 to-be-studied listswas randomized.
Within lists, both item order at study and stimulus order of itemspecific
first-letter retrieval probes (cues) at test were randomized.
