A study was conducted to determine the optimal presentation methods for teaching the phonetic alphabet which is characteristic of much of the symbolic material which forms part of the SAGE L-system operator task. This discrete-item, paired-associate material was prepared in six different formats: (1) long continuous-discourse program, overt…

Research in paired-associate overlearning sought means of decreasing the variability while maintaining the magnitude of the decrement in stimulus-response latency (SRL). SRL was divided into decision latency (DL) and manual response latency (MRL); it was hypothesized that self-pacing of inter-item intervals would reduce V. Group I received stimuli…

Measures performance on a task which was uncontaminated by incomplete learning of the task and determines the effects on such uncontaminated performance of two postulated kinds of drives (energizing and disruptive). (Author)

Article reports to give support to the acquistion hypothesis that holds that some attribute of the stimulus is acquired by the response associated with it. (Author/ML)

Second- and fourth-grade children learned two 25-item, paired-associate mixed lists under three experimental conditions: instructed imagery, imposed imagery, and control. Four specific transfer paradigms and a reference paradigm were represented in the lists. The specific transfer paradigms were constructed such that a first list stimulus term (a…
