Peer reviewedNewman, Slater E.; Jennette, A. Douglas – American Journal of Psychology, 1975
To test the prediction from generalization theory that the ease of learning an item will be inversely related to the size of the set of which it is a member, 80 subjects were exposed to a serially presented list of pairs for 15 trials. (Editor)

Examines the position that the presence of contexts facilitates paired-associate learning through mediation. (Editor/RK)

Peer reviewedRunquist, Willard N.; Runquist, Peggy A. – American Journal of Psychology, 1976
This experiment demonstrated that people can utilize relative situational frequency of occurrence to differentiate similary categorizable target items in paired-associate learning. (Editor)

Paivio's conceptual peg hypothesis was re-evaluated, intending to take proper account of the integrating image. (Editor/RK)

Peer reviewedRegan, Joan – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
The differential effects of studying for recall and recognition tests were studied by means of a transfer experiment. The 48 subjects learned three lists of paired associates with either all recall tests or all recognition tests and then were transferred to a fourth list with either the same test or the other test.

Peer reviewedCook, Harold; Smothergill, Daniel – Child Development, 1971
The logical extension of results may be valuable in adding to our understanding of the variety of phenomena involving mediational processes, such as transposition, reversal and nonreversal shifts, imagery, concept formation, word meaning, and the effectiveness of verbal stimuli in discrimination and generalization.

Runquist, Willard N. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Nelson, Brooks, and Wheeler (1975) found that interference effects produced by physical similarity among word stimuli in paired associates result from the disruption of contact with the functional stimulus and that interference with associative retrieval is minimal. Data in this research challenge their conclusion on several grounds. (Author/RK)

Giurintano, S. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
The chaining, position, and dual-process hypotheses of serial learning (SL) as well as serial recall, reordering, and relearning of paired-associate learning were examined to establish learning patterns. Results provide evidence for dual-process hypothesis. (DS)

The role of meaning in the learning of verbally presented paired associates (PAs) is described by means of an experiment with a replication. A printed PA list containing six different types of items was presented to Sixth Graders. Four of the item types consisted of sentence-embedded PAs on the study trials, followed by test trial cues varying in…

Chechile, Richard A.; Gordon, Tracey – 1976
A study was performed to investigate the storage and retrieval dynamics that occur during paired-associate acquisition by means of the storage-retrieval separation technique discussed recently by Chechile & Meyer (1976). Thirty subjects learned an 18-item paired-associate list to a criterion of three perfect trials. In the test phase of each…

Aural-Verbal and Visual-Pictorial Elaboration Effects on Children's Long Term Memory for Noun Pairs.
Kee, Daniel W.; Sherwin, Trisha – 1977
Two experiments were conducted to assess the effects of elaborated presentation on noun-pair retention. A 2 x 2 factorial design was used with aural-verbal presentation (standard versus elaborated) and visual-pictorial presentation (standard versus elaborated). Subjects for one experiment were 64 second-grade children from a Mexican-American…

Bewley, William L. – 1973
Lawrence University in Wisconsin has developed a means whereby time-shared terminals may be effectively used in a small college. The manner in which the terminals are employed in an introductory psychology course is indicative of their general usefulness. The time-sharing system consists of a PDP-11/20 computer (RSTS system) with 8K of core…
