The ordeal was group-administered to intact classes from a trained native Spanish-speaking researcher, who began the administration with four practice items. For the real-word element she dictated each word to the whole class, read a dogma that contained the word, and finally repeated the word single in kind more time (or as many times as needed) while the participants wrote down each word in its entirety forward a blank space. For the inferior component, the pseudo-words were dictated (without accompanying sentences) and were repeated as many times as stand in want ofed while participants completed each item with the missing epistle or letters (see Figures 1 and 2 for sample items of the real-word and pseudo-word constitutings respectively).
