The relative effectiveness of learning aids as measured by tests for achievement, transfer of acquired skills to novel situations, and ability to retain principles for students of varying abilities and age levels were examined in a series of studies at George Peabody College for Teachers. (Author)

The study examined the performance of 72 intellectually average children in primary grades and 72 educable mentally retarded adolescents (mean mental age 8 years) on target subsets of work pairs when employed in mixed lists. (Author/MC)

A need exists for wider communication of cost-effective and generally applicable experiments in improved learning. Two highly enrolled and innovative approaches of a department of Science and Human Affairs are described. (Author)

Thirty institutionalized mildly retarded adolescent Ss and 30 matched MA elementary school nonretarded Ss were presented 18 items for five free-recall trials in a study of basic determinants of clustering behavior (the recall of sequences of related items following their random presentation).
