Elementary school and college students acquired a paired-associate list under the study-test procedure to a one errorless trail criterion. In addition, as each pair was presented the individual indicated whether she/he had that pair correct on the immediately preceding trail (post-diction responses). (Author/SB)

A series of three experiments was conducted to verify the hypothesis that age differences in paired-associate learning proficiency across adolescence stem from the development of increasing eleaborative propensity. (Author/JMB)

To test the comparative efficacy of a visual imagery associative learning strategy in younger and older children, second and sixth grade children were presented a list of paired associates (concrete nouns) either at a faster or slower rate, under either an instruction to generate an interactive image for the pairs or a no strategy, control…

In this study, the self-reported strategies of fifth, seventh, and ninth grade subjects used to learn a list of paired associates were correlated with actual learning performance to test the hypothesis that proficient learners are elaborators. (Author/SB)
