SAMUELS, S. JAY – 1968
THE HYPOTHESIS THAT WHEN ASSOCIATED PAIRS OF WORDS ARE PRESENTED, SPEED OF RECOGNITION WILL BE FASTER THAN WHEN NONASSOCIATED WORD PAIRS ARE PRESENTED OR WHEN A TARGET WORD IS PRESENTED BY ITSELF WAS TESTED. TWENTY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, INITIALLY SCREENED FOR VISION, WERE ASSIGNED RANDOMLY TO ROWS OF A 5 X 5 REPEATED-MEASURES LATIN SQUARE DESIGN.…

Ellis, Henry C.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Two experiments examined the role of meaningfulness (m), perceptual grouping, and organizational factors in recognition memory of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigram stimuli. (Editor)

Matsuda, Noriyuki; Robbins, Donald – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Using recognition tests with new and old exemplars (multiple-component characters) and prototypes (common components), the traditional language learning technique of paired-associate training with exemplars of Chinese characters and specific English translations led to the poorest performance of the three methods tested. Learning either exemplars…

Underwood, Benton J. – 1973
The purpose of the eight experiments was to assess the role which associations between two words played in recognition decisions. The evidence on weak associations established in the laboratory indicated that association was playing a small role, but that the recognition performance on pairs of words was highly predictable from frequency…

Holborn, Stephen W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
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)

Muller, Douglas G. – 1970
A major objective of this study was to seek the relationship of principles derived from traditional paired-associates transfer experiments as applied to the reading task. In this experiment 10 subjects from upper-division education courses, all volunteers, received various types of preliminary training with letter stimuli; then all subjects…

Waters, Harriet Salatas; Schreiber, Linda L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Examined sex differences in eighth and tenth graders' and college students' use of elaboration in paired associate learning. Findings indicate that, as males and females became more proficient strategy users, sex differences diminished under more favorable task conditions that encouraged strategy use but remained constant under less favorable…
