For the exposure phase, 200 Dutch w

For the exposure phase, 200 Dutch words were selected
from the CELEX database (Baayen, Piepenbrock, &
Gulikers, 1995). Forty of the words ended in /l/, and 40
ended in /r/; no /l/s or /r/s occurred elsewhere in these 80
words. Since the sounds [l] and [ɹ] color the pronunciation
of the preceding vowel, the vowel preceding [l] and [ɹ] was
kept constant, such that all of the words ended in /əl/ or /ər/.
The number of syllables was matched between the two sets
of critical items (i.e., /l/-final and /r/-final words).
