The purpose of this study was to determine if stimuli of high potential imagery (pictures) would be less subject to negative transfer than stimuli of lower potential imagery (concrete words). (Editor)

The present experiment was designed to investigate the role of the PA test trial by use of a design in which the testing phase of a series of PA recall trials was deleted and replaced on each of the trials by a computational procedure. (Author)

Research has indicated that interference produced by the sharing of sensory features of paired-associate stimulus words was not eliminated by processing the pairs at the meaning level. These experiments were intended to extend the range of conditions under which the sensory interference effect might persist, and to incorporate the findings within…

The initial concern of these studies was with the superiority of pictures over corresponding words as stimuli in paired associate learning. (Author)

In each of four paired-associate studies with verbs and adverbs, more correct responses occurred with the verb-adverb order than with the adverb-verb order. (Editor)

The present study aimed to apply to the retention of a serially learned list some principles suggested by recent research on interference in the retention of paired associates. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the verbal system is involved in coding pictorial reresentations when the task requires the acquisition of their relative order. (Author)

Paivio's conceptual peg hypothesis was re-evaluated, intending to take proper account of the integrating image. (Editor/RK)

The present study attempted to determine whether young children can make implicit chains involving images and words. (Author)

Two experiments were conducted and the results of both experiments were viewed as consistent with the hypothesis that episodic information (e.g., word pairs, word grouping) is stored separately from semantic information (categories) in long-term memory. (Editor/RK)

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)

Predictions based on theories of verbal learning proposed by Spence and Eysenck were compared by using a noncompetitive list of paired-associates formed from seven synonym pairs, and a competitive list formed by pairing each of the seven S words with a R word with which it was not synonymous. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiments was to further explore the role of choice by giving Ss the opportunity to choose the stimulus words rather than the response words. (Author)

This study attempted to answer two questions: should variable or constant grapheme-phoneme correspondence be introduced initially and should paired-associate or conceptual training be used in initial training. (Author/RK)

In the present study, acoustic similarity and word frequency were varied and their effects independently assessed on free-recall-learning (FRL) and paired-associate-recognition (PAR) tasks. (Author)
