Results of the study show that punishment is an effective condition of learning. (Author)

Results indicate that the RCR (rehearsal-of-the-correct-alternative response) plays an important role such that when the RCR is inhibited, performance is reduced. (Authors/CB)

Discusses three steps in learning-strategy analysis--determining the potential errors, categorizing them as being verbal or motor, and identifying appropriate training objectives, learning strategies, and teaching objectives. Then follow descriptions of concept and principle learning, motor performance, and motor chain learning. The task analyzed…

The main objective of the Goteborg Project on Non-Verbatim Learning was to arrive at a commensurable description of the process and outcome of non-verbatim learning, also referred to as meaningful verbal learning. Such a description was thought to be a necessary presupposition for any explanatory models both in experiments on learning and in the…

This research contrasts the learning effects of an affective dimension of meaningfulness with the word-quality of consonant-vowel-consonant trigrams. Subject rated trigrams for both "association value"--having word-quality versus lacking word-quality--and "reinforcement value"--liking versus disliking the trigram regardless of word quality. Paired…
