The present investigation examines the effects of three different quadratic cue-criterion function forms upon single-cue learning. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to extend the functional learning paradigm to the case where the relation to be learned is not stationary. (Author)

In Thorndikian experiments, Ss have performed better on Trial 2 when they were told whether Trial 1 responses were right or wrong on Trial 2 than when given this information immediately after each response on Trial 1. Authors reexamined these experiments. (Editor/RK)

The present study attempted to increase the number of responses investigated in the study of retroactive inhibition. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to provide further evidence with respect to the effects of presentation method in serial learning. (Author)

The present experiment examined the choice behavior of humans during the learning of a reversal (R) shift as an empirical test of attentional explanations of the overtraining reversal effect. (Author/RK)

Results showed that imagery and frequency factors have independent and additive effects in verbal discrimination learning. (Author)

Results confirm the observation that college students tend to select the more meaningful of two redundant-cue elements for completion of the associative stage of PA learning. (Authors)

In a nonmetric multiple-cue probability learning task involving 2 binary cue dimensions, it was found that Ss can learn to use configural or pattern information (a) when only the configural information is relevant, and in addition to the configural information, one or both of the cue dimensions are relevant. (Author/RK)

The present experiment uses a variation of the repeti design of Hebb (1961) to ask the question of the fate of individual items in the Brown-Peterson task at a time when, if interference does indeed dissipate, the old items that produce interference should no longer be available to compete with new items.

Different groups of 27 Ss learned lists of high- or low-imagery nouns or adjectives in a part-whole transfer experiment. (Editor)

Two concept-learning experiments using adult human Ss were carried out, the first tested prediction using a reversal shift, the second tested speed of shift learning. (Author/RK)

Findings are most consistent with a mediation interpretation of transfer. (Authors)

Second-grade children were trained on an optional shift task in order to assess the relation between the amount of overtraining and (a) the type of shift executed by Ss, and (b) the breadth of learning. (Editor)
