This study examined the effects of three stimulus variables and background music on paired-associate learning of foreign language (FL) vocabulary. The stimulus variables were the frequency and concreteness of the native language (Ll) words and the (phonotactical) typicality of the FL words. Sixty-four LI-FL pairs were presented for learning six times, followed by a recall test after the second, fourth, and sixth learning round. A fourth recall test took place 1 week later. Typical FL words, FL words paired with frequent Ll words, and FL words paired with concrete Ll words were learned better than atypical FL words and FL words paired with infrequent and abstract Ll words, respectively. More learning occurred in the music condition than in the silent condition. The results are interpreted in terms of differences between memory representations of Ll words, differences in the phonological coding enabled by the FL words, and individual learner differences.
