Recognition reaction times for four different kinds of stimulus are compared. The stimuli are simple lines, unpronounceable trigrams, three‐letter words and nonsense syllables. The results can be explained in terms of the codability of the stimulus array. The effects of acoustic and visual confusability, and of the position of the different sign within an array, are also examined.
