The present experiment was designed to give attention to a potentially important parameter, that of paired-associate task modality. (Author/RK)

The determination of the extent to which generalizations derived from studies of rote verbal learning, particularly paired-associate learning applied to highly meaningful materials, was the focus of this study. It was found that discriminating tags to synonyms and antonyms permitting the application of appropriate transfer rules may be attached.…

Study investigated performance under the conditions of: presentation of noninteracting picture pairs, presentation of interacting picture pairs, and presentation of noninteracting picture pairs with instructions to create interacting images. (Authros/CB)

Results indicate that when subjects are given explicit instructions as to the interlist relationship and when the transfer list is presented at a relatively slow rate, both positive and negative transfer effects may be obtained in the serial/paired-associate paradigm. (Author)

Results of this study indicate that free recall output order reflects item membership in subjective units, but evidence that recall depends on organizational stability was minimal. (Author/MB)

Results support the importance of the passage of time during learning as the crucial factor affecting high-arousal recall. (Author/MB)

Purpose of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between stimulus recognition and various learning conditions which were designed to affect both stimulus encoding and associative learning in a paired-associate task. (Authors)

Pattern of results suggests that retardates were relatively deficient in the spontaneous use of effective rehearsal mechanisms, but could perform as well as normals when instructed to use a specific rehearsal strategy. (Authors)

Results indicated that variations in deep structure grammatical relations but not surface structure complexity influenced noun pair retrieval. (Author)

On the basis of this study, a tentative hypothesis may be formed: Teacher sex per se is not a major variable in the higher incidence of reading disability among boys. (Author)

The results of this study indicate that the degree of pronunciation difficulty of Russian words is a more important factor than function (form class) properties of English response items in facilitating or retarding learning of Russian-English vocabulary pairs. (FWB)
