pseudoword

n. a pronounceable nonword, such as flirp. Unlike nonsense syllables and trigrams, which are restricted to three letters and not necessarily pronounceable, pseudowords may be any length and must conform to orthographic and phonological conventions. Pseudowords are used both experimentally to study learning of items that do not already have meaning or associations with other information in memory and clinically to identify children with reading disabilities.
