Results of experiment clearly indicate the superiority of forward associations. (Author)

Two techniques of anxiety reduction are studied singly and in combination: rapid repetition of words and paired-associate learning. Paired-associate learning with Counteracting Response Associates yielded the best long-term reduction in response anxiety, which suggests the potential application of this technique in therapy.

Conclusions from five experiments were: that the frequency of implicit associational responses has minimal effect on verbal-discrimination and two-category classification learning; and that the intrapair associations which do develop in verbal-discrimination learning are not critically involved in the making of those discriminations.

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)

Results suggested that: cue encoding leads to greater associative recall; there was no difference in likelihood of associative recall between items encoded in a stable manner and items encoded in an unstable manner; and encouraging to encode cues did not facilitate associative recall. (Authors)
