The study examined the performance of 72 intellectually average children in primary grades and 72 educable mentally retarded adolescents (mean mental age 8 years) on target subsets of work pairs when employed in mixed lists. (Author/MC)

Thirty institutionalized mildly retarded adolescent Ss and 30 matched MA elementary school nonretarded Ss were presented 18 items for five free-recall trials in a study of basic determinants of clustering behavior (the recall of sequences of related items following their random presentation). (Author/DB)

The effects of interspersed trials on prompted (P) and confirmation (C) paired associate learning were studied in 64 institutionalized educable mental retardates. Subjects were instructed to learn eight pairs of pictures which were presented by a slide projector. There were four groups in both the P and C condition. The treatment for these groups…

Intentional and incidental learning was investigated developmentally and comparatively using a paired associate learning task with 90 educable mentally handicapped or normal, elementary or secondary school Ss. (DB)

The ability of 45 educable mentally retarded children (mean CA-11 years) to acquire and retain a mediational strategy for paired associate learning was demonstrated by a training procedure which consisted of the sequencing of consecutive lists under varying degrees of mediational facilitation. (Author/CL)

To obtain an a priori estimate of natural language mediators (NLM's) 320 pairs of words with the consonant-vowel-consonant-pattern (CVC's) were broken into four series of 90 pairs and presented to 240 male and female undergraduates. Pairs were shown for 15 seconds while the subjects wrote down any associative device or NLM they could generate that…
