Learning as a Function of Stimulus and Response Arousal with Control over Meaningfulness, Imagery, and Concreteness. Report from the Motivation and Individual Differences in Learning and Retention Project.

Mizelle, Richard M.; Farley, Frank H. – 1971

The contribution to learning of the learning materials' arousal properties was investigated using degree of interest of the stimulus and response terms as the index of arousal. Words equated on meaningfulness, imagery, and concreteness and rated as high (H), medium (M), and low (L) in interest were used to represent the 3 levels of interest, and…

Kumar, V.K.; Farley, Frank H. – 1975

This study examined the effects on long-term retention of variations in intensity and of temporal parameters of arousal following a single learning trial in a paired-associate task. The subjects were 56 female university students. Intensity of arousal was manipulated by using two levels of white noise--75 decibels and 90 decibels sound pressure…

The Effects of Emotional Arousal on Short Versus Long Term Retention of Continuously Presented Information. Final Report.

Lavach, John F. – 1971

Previous research has indicated that for discretely (paired associate) as well as continuously (sound-film) presented information, high arousal during acquisition results in poor immediate recall, but is characterized by a strong reminiscence effect. Low arousal learning results in better immediate recall with poor retention. The hypothesis that…

Interaction of Arousal and Number of Learning Trials in Paired-Associate Learning

Osborne, John W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972

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

The Relationship of Arousal to Retention of Stimulus-Response, Response and Stimulus Terms in Paired Associate Learning.

Kumar, Krishna; Powers, Marjorie – 1974

Seven paired-associates were constructed using words (for which scales values on arousal were derived by paired-comparison technique) as stimulus terms and digits (two through eight) as response terms. Forty subjects were randomly assigned to one of four conditions-cued or free recall and short or long-term tests following a single learning trial.…
