Peer reviewedLaPorte, Ronald; Voss, James F. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The purpose of the present experiment was to manipulate independently the number of lists learned and the criterion of learning, to determine how each of these variables and their interaction influence nonspecific transfer. (Author)

Peer reviewedLaPorte, Ronald; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The present experiment was addressed to the study of one aspect of nonspecific transfer, namely, whether the processes involved in the test trails during acquisition are related to subsequent nonspecific transfer. (Author)

Peer reviewedLippman, Louis G. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
Whereas Martin (1973) examined item effects for individual subjects as indicators of their idiosyncratic organization of the middle of a lengthy, constant sequence of unrelated nouns, the present study examined the constancy of item effects across groups of subjects learning a short list of moderately difficult CVCs.

This article reports the results of an experiment addressing extrapolation in function learning, in particular the issue of whether participants can extrapolate in a nonmonotonic manner. Existing models of function learning, including the extrapolation association model of function learning (EXAM; E. L. DeLosh, J. R. Busemeyer, & M. A. McDaniel,…

Peer reviewedNation, Jack R.; McCullers, John C. – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
A theoretical model for estimating the effects of age and incentive on children's performance in probability learning is introduced. Novel predictions of the model about the effects of combinations of age and incentive were tested and confirmed. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments found reduced proactive inhibition when subjects were induced to use the nonpreferred components of a compound stimulus during first-list learning. (Editor)

Peer reviewedStevens, Henry A. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1976
The results of this study indicate that tobacco smoking may have a deleterious effect on the learning process. Those Ss who smoked in excess of 12 cigarettes per day did significantly less well, as a group, than nonsmokers and light smokers on three of the four learning tests. (Editor)

Peer reviewedSacks, H. V.; Eysenck, Michael W. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
School pupils (mean age 17 years) were classified as convergers or divergers on the basis of their performance on the AH5 Intelligence Test and the Uses of Objects test. They were presented with a set of concrete and abstract sentences, followed immediately by a forced-choice recognition test. Considered the interaction between…
