The two levels of the factors AV and NS are high AV and low AV, and one-syllable and two-syllable words, respectively. The twenty subjects represent the levels of the third factor. The AV of 236 English words had been measured for Bulgarian subjects in a previous experiment. Verbal material for the present experiment was selected among those words. A paired-association learning paradigm was used so that the English words appeared as S-terms and the corresponding Bulgarian equivalents as R-terms. Learning was measured by the number of trials1 aГерганов, Енчо1 aТасева-Рангелова, Красимира, Краси  uhttp://www.scripta-bulgarica.eu/bg/biblio/gerganov1982
