Peer reviewedLaPorte, Ronald; Voss, James F. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The purpose of the present experiment was to manipulate independently the number of lists learned and the criterion of learning, to determine how each of these variables and their interaction influence nonspecific transfer. (Author)
Descriptors: Data Analysis, Learning Processes, Psychological Studies, Research Methodology
Peer reviewedLaPorte, Ronald; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The present experiment was addressed to the study of one aspect of nonspecific transfer, namely, whether the processes involved in the test trails during acquisition are related to subsequent nonspecific transfer. (Author)

Danks, Joseph H.; Gans, Dianne L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
In a paired-associate paradigm, stimulus-response pairs were generated from a rule matrix. (Editor)

Peer reviewedDobbs, Allen R.; Carlson, Dona – American Journal of Psychology, 1975
The major premise of the present study was that rules are not only a useful descriptive concept but may actually be acquired by subjects and govern the selection process. (Author)

Barresi, John; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
The present investigation compared three models of learning and generalization of related abstract categories: the prototype, the common feature, and the distinctive feature model. (Editor)

Peer reviewedGatchel, Robert J.; Proctor, Janet D. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
The present experiment was designed to assess the physiological changes instigated by the learned helplessness task, and to evaluate whether the physiological response patterns are similar to those reported in other studies on depression cited in this article. (Author/RK)

Peer reviewedMueller, John H.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The subjects in two experiments learned either two successive unrelated verbal-discrimination or paired-associate tasks, with anticipation and feedback durations factorially combined (2 or 4sec). (Editor)

Peer reviewedClifford, Margaret M. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1975
This field study was designed as an examination of the effects of stating self-expectancy for complex learning tasks administered under typical classroom conditions. (Author/RK)

Peer reviewedPutz, Vernon R. – British Journal of Psychology, 1975
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of different modes of supervision on a relatively low demanding activity such as a Mackworth-type vigilance task (1950). (Author)

Peer reviewedKlein, David C.; Seligman, Martin E. P. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
Therapeutic implications of the learned helplessness model of depression were tested. (Editor)

Dominowski, Roger L.; Wetherick, Norman E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
The present study was designed to examine several features of naive subjects' inference processes in a rule-learning task. Attention was primarily directed toward initial classification biases and the amount of transfer of learning occurring among stimuli within the same truth-table class. (Author/RK)

Reber, Arthur S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976

Peer reviewedWeir, C. – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
In an experiment on the effects of blank trials on probability learning, some informational parameters were varied. The results showed that the presence of blank trials shifted response probabilities toward the guessing level. Data from other experiments are considered, and the relevance of the results to studies of behavior with concurrent…

Peer reviewedMarshall, Philip H.; Smith, Randolph A. S. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
The existence of verification processes in recognition memory was confirmed in the context of Adams' (Adams & Bray, 1970) closed-loop theory. Subjects' recognition was tested following a learning session. The expectation was that data would reveal consistent internal relationships supporting the position that natural language mediation plays…

d'Ydewalle, Gery; Buchwald, Alexander M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
The effects of the outcomes "right" and "wrong" upon subsequent correct responding in paired-associate learning have recently been interpreted as a function of subject's memory of previous responses and their outcomes. Tests that interpretation in two experiments of recall procedures. (Editor/RK)
