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)

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)

This experiment examined the learning of affective and neutral words in a paired-associate list for chronic schizophrenics and normals. It was predicted that, relative to normals, the chronic schizophrenics would learn much fewer affective words than neutral 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)

Words and other verbal stimuli are processed as phonological sequences having a characteristic beginning-end-middle structure. They are not processed as invariant units, but are coded as sets of distinctive features, the coding being controlled, at least partly, by the context in which it takes place. (AN)

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)

The present study examined the effects of two variables, association value (low, high) and length of anticipation interval (3 sec, 6 sec) on the paired-associate transfer performance of young and elderly adults in the A-B A-B paradigm. (Editor)

Five experiments were conducted comparing performance on paired-associate lists of stimuli that rhymed with lists of stimuli that did not rhyme. Results are discussed in terms of the role of input position cues in aiding discrimination among items. (Editor/RK)
