Associative Asymmetry of Compound Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Caplan, Jeremy B.; Boulton, Kathy L.; Gagné, Christina L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Early verbal-memory researchers assumed participants represent memory of a pair of unrelated items with 2 independent, separately modifiable, directional associations. However, memory for pairs of unrelated words (A-B) exhibits associative symmetry: a near-perfect correlation between accuracy on forward (A??) and backward (??B) cued recall. This…

Lexical Learning in Bilingual Adults: The Relative Importance of Short-Term Memory for Serial Order and Phonological Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Majerus, Steve; Poncelet, Martine; Van der Linden, Martial; Weekes, Brendan S. – Cognition, 2008
Studies of monolingual speakers have shown a strong association between lexical learning and short-term memory (STM) capacity, especially STM for serial order information. At the same time, studies of bilingual speakers suggest that phonological knowledge is the main factor that drives lexical learning. This study tested these two hypotheses…

Removing the Snare from the Pair: Using Pictures to Learn Confusing Word Pairs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Igo, L. Brent; Kiewra, Kenneth A.; Bruning, Roger – Journal of Experimental Education, 2004
The extant picture-learning research does not address confusing word pairs that are not concrete (e.g., in and into). In this study, university students viewed 11 timed Web pages containing information on confusing word pairs. Each page addressed one word pair and distinguished the words with examples (example group), examples and rules (rule…

Klein, James D.; Salisbury, David F. – 1987
The effectiveness of learning paired associates from a computer-based drill strategy known as the progressive state drill was compared in this study with the effectiveness of having students use their own strategies with flashcards. Characteristics of the progressive state drill which make it a potentially effective drill and practice strategy for…

A Comparison of a Microcomputer Progressive State Drill and Flashcards for Learning Paired Associates.
Salisbury, David F.; Klein, James D. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Discussion of the use of computer drills in education focuses on a study designed to compare the effect of a progressive state drill with the effect of having high school students implement their own strategies using flashcards. The use of sequential analysis is explained, and student attitudes are examined. (26 references) (Author/LRW)

Transitions between Short-Term and Long-Term Memory in Learning Meaningful Unrelated Paired Associates Using Computer Based Drills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Goldenberg, Tzvika Y.; Turnure, James E. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Discussion of short-term and long-term memory in learning paired associates focuses on two microcomputer-based instructional design experiments with eleventh and twelfth graders that were modeled after traditional drill and practice routines. Research questions are presented, treatment conditions are explained, and additional research is…
