Zimmerman, Joel; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1972
Conclusions from five experiments were: that the frequency of implicit associational responses has minimal effect on verbal-discrimination and two-category classification learning; and that the intrapair associations which do develop in verbal-discrimination learning are not critically involved in the making of those discriminations.

Ward, L. Charles; Maisto, Albert A. – American Journal of Psychology, 1973
The results of the present study indicated that learning under feedback type A (presentation of correct response) occurred more rapidly than under type B (presentation of the position of the correct response). (Author)

Newby, Robert W.; Young, Robert K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
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)

Kanak, N. Jack; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Four experiments using varying methodological factors examined the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning. (MB)

Carroll, Wayne R.; And Others – Psychological Reports, 1971
Descriptors: Associative Learning, Discrimination Learning, Grade 2, Information Processing
Smothergill, D. W.; Cook, Harold – 1969
The author initially cites the associationistic position of Spiker and the perceptual learning position of E. Gibson and concludes that the existing data does not clearly support either hypothesis. He describes a new approach designed to test these explanations of the role of verbal pretraining on subsequent discrimination learning. It consists of…

Gardner, James M.; And Others – 1969
The bibliography on learning in mentally handicapped persons is divided into the following topic categories: applied behavior change, classical conditioning, discrimination, generalization, motor learning, reinforcement, verbal learning, and miscellaneous. An author index is included. (KW)

Eriksen, Charles W. – 1965
Research on learning and conditioning suggests that verbal response modification does not occur in the absence of the subject's ability to define verbally (1) the response-reinforcement relationships and (2) his intention to change his behavior in the direction of reinforcement. This seems to be true for operant conditioning of verbal behavior,…

Wolff, Joseph L. – 1967
Previous experiments with nursery school children have suggested that (1) subjects of preschool age do not verbalize during transfer learning or that (2) for these subjects, self-produced verbal cues have little influence on the learning process. To investigate the relative merits of these alternative positions, research was conducted among 80…

Glaser, Robert – 1968
A report on learning psychology and its relationship to the study of school learning emphasizes the increasing interaction between theorists and educational practitioners, particularly in attempting to learn which variables influence the instructional process and to find an appropriate methodology to measure and evaluate learning. "Learning…
