Sheridan, Heather; Reingold, Eyal M. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2012
The present experiments examined perceptual specificity effects using a rereading paradigm. Eye movements were monitored while participants read the same target word twice, in two different low-constraint sentence frames. The congruency of perceptual processing was manipulated by either presenting the target word in the same distortion typography…

Turnure, James E.; Thurlow, Martha L. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1976
Methodological and substantive issues concerning the relative efficacy of various kinds of verbal elaborations on the learning and reversal performance of paired noun items by 6- to 7-year-old children were studied. Results indicated that a verbal elaboration methodology could be a viable approach to studying discourse and other language-based…

Long, K. Kilby – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1971
The effect of serving as an experimenter in a paired-associate learning procedure on subsequent learning is investigated. (DG)

Taylor, Arthur M. – 1970
The reports of eight studies testing the effects of elaboration on the learning of children are compiled in this document. Mental elaboration is "thinking while learning" which occurs as the learner actively adds context to the material he is asked to process. Supplied elaboration, included in these studies, occurs when the learner is provided…

Stinaff, Russell D. – 1973
The problem of structuring sequences of instructional stimuli such that learning is optimized is modelled as a sequential decision problem with an imbedded mathematical model of learning providing a criterion function. Three types of optimization methods for such a representation are investigated for the specific case of paired-associate learning…

Rohwer, William D., Jr.; Levin, Joel R. – 1970
The major emphasis of this study is on the comparative validities of paired-associate learning tests and IQ tests in predicting reading achievement. The study engages in a brief review of earlier research in order to examine the validity of two assumptions--that the construction and/or the use of a tactic that simplifies a learning task is one of…

Atkinson, Richard C.; Lorton, Paul, Jr. – 1969
Two mathematical models of paired-associate learning were used to develop optimal strategies for presenting spelling words to 42 elementary school children. The study was conducted within a computer-based drill-and-practice project. For the study two computer programs were developed. One program presented and corrected the lists of words. The…
