The present study was designed to explore age differences in the association of temperatures with specific colors, using as stimuli actual felt temperatures rather than the 'imagined' or ambient temperatures used in other studies. (Author)

Article describes an experiment establishing the influence of meaningfulness of the ease of learning verbal material. (Author/MM)

The learning of backward associations by pigeons during training of forward associations was studied in three experiments using a symbolic matching task. The data are contrasted with the strong evidence of learning of backward associations by humans. (Editor/RK)

The present study was designed to investigate the manner in and the extent to which a subject's experience with the position of items influences the strength of interitem associations as they are measured by intralist intrusions, by the association method, and by transfer effects on paired-associate performance. (Author/RK)

The hypothesis that either familiarization or the association of items to context produces the crossover effect in whole-part learning was tested. The crossover effect refers to the eventual negative information transfer that occurs at the end of second-list learning. Results were interpreted in terms of a stage model of learning. (Editor/RK)

Asks if current interference theory will also predict proactive inhibition in serial learning. Proactive inhibition is the result, at least in part, of a particular type of deficit in second-list learning. (Author/RK)
