• We report results from two experiments in which the effects of rhyme prime (RP) are investigated by manipulating the properties of the interveners between prime and target. Studies of visual priming report that interveners have differing effects depending on the types of processing they require; we extend this line of inquiry to the auditory domain. Results suggest that RP is affected by the types of processing required for interveners: intervening tones are less disruptive interveners than more complex nonwords. We relate this finding to the syllabic representations (or the process building them), and outline directions for further work.
