Results of experiment clearly indicate the superiority of forward associations. (Author)

Two experiments were designed to detect frustration phenomena hitherto only observed in subhuman animals, frustration being defined as the omission of the response item after a correct anticipation in a partial reinforcement schedule. (Authors)

Experiment was concerned with the validity of the assumptions involved in the proposal of some minor modifications in the frequency theory of verbal-discrimination learning. (Author/CB)

Research was designed to extend the encoding variability hypothesis to highly integrated verbal units and to explore the relationship between stimulus and response meaningfulness in an A-C transfer paradigm. (Authors)

Study investigated performance under the conditions of: presentation of noninteracting picture pairs, presentation of interacting picture pairs, and presentation of noninteracting picture pairs with instructions to create interacting images. (Authros/CB)

Results indicate that when subjects are given explicit instructions as to the interlist relationship and when the transfer list is presented at a relatively slow rate, both positive and negative transfer effects may be obtained in the serial/paired-associate paradigm. (Author)

Pattern of results suggests that retardates were relatively deficient in the spontaneous use of effective rehearsal mechanisms, but could perform as well as normals when instructed to use a specific rehearsal strategy. (Authors)

The relevance of these findings to previous failures to find transfer and their implications for educational practice are discussed. (Authors)

A new hypothesis is proposed to account for both superior and equal performances under the study-test method as compared with the anticipation method. (Author)
