School achievement was positively related to performance on the abstract task and was generally unrelated to performance on the concrete task. (Authors)

By comparing a retarded reader's performance on paired associate and serial learning, results are expected to show the differences in types of learning problems. (Author/DEP)

The major finding of the present experiment was that children as young a 7 or 8 (second graders) were able to employ an induced visual-imagery strategy to facilitate paired-associate learning. (Authors)

The use of an elaborative process by kindergarten children in the performance of verbally presented arithmetic addition problems was investigated. A static rather than dynamic verbally described relation between stimulus sets resulted in more correct responses for two of nine Developmental Level X Prompt Condition groups, supporting the use of…

Purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that training the student to note the distinctive features of a stimulus during perceptual learning facilities the hook-up phase in a paired-associate task. (Author)

The effect of serving as an experimenter in a paired-associate learning procedure on subsequent learning is investigated. (DG)

Fifth-grade children prerated both abstract and concrete nouns for likability, and paired-associate lists were constructed by pairing nouns. High self-concept children learned liked noun pairs more efficiently than disliked pairs, while the low self-concept children learned disliked noun pairs more readily. These self-concept patterns were most…

In these studies, authors sought to examine the role of mode of presentation in a verbal learning task, within the context of age-grade differences in two social groups. (Authors/CB)
