Passages consisting of randomly arranged (a) monosyllabic, (b) bisyllabic, and (c) trisyllabic words were read under conditions of immediate and delayed auditory feedback. The hypothesis tested was that the effect of delaying feedback would increase disproportionately with the syllabic length of the words read. The results, however, indicated that delayed feedback increased `vocal' time by a constant proportion unaffected by syllabic length.
