A Participant Hears the Sequence "F, D, P, U, G

Multiple Choice

A participant hears the sequence "F, D, P, U, G, Q, R" and then, a moment later, must repeat the sequence aloud. If errors occur in this procedure, they are likely to involve:

A) soundalike confusions; for example, "T" instead of "D"
B) look-alike confusions; for example, "O" instead of "Q"
C) confusions with near neighbors in the alphabet; for example, repeating "G" instead of "F"
D) confusions because of strong associations; for example, "I" instead of "Q" because of the familiarity of "I.Q."
