Abstract
Mean scale values of ratings of effort in subvocalizing CCVCs from Greenberg and Jenkins' (1964) List 1 were obtained for 5 groups of Ss (ns = 17, 21, 23, 18, 22). Their native languages were not English. The hypothesis was that the scale values would correlate substantially and consistently with the S values of the CCVCs as is the case for 25 Ss whose native tongue is English. The hypothesis remains tenable. Another prediction was that phonetic contrast and strangeness values based on associations in Dutch to the CCVCs would not correlate subtantially with S values of the CCVCs for American English. The prediction was confirmed. A factor analysis yielded one S scale factor and one for associations in Dutch.
