Elementary school and college students acquired a paired-associate list under the study-test procedure to a one errorless trail criterion. In addition, as each pair was presented the individual indicated whether she/he had that pair correct on the immediately preceding trail (post-diction responses). (Author/SB)

The results of the present study indicated that learning under feedback type A (presentation of correct response) occurred more rapidly than under type B (presentation of the position of the correct response). (Author)

The effect of serving as an experimenter in a paired-associate learning procedure on subsequent learning is investigated. (DG)

Three studies were performed to investigate the effects of training versus instructions in the acquisition of cognitive learning strategies. Groups of undergraduate students were taught to use one or more strategies. The amount and type of training differed for each of the experimental groups. Strategies taught included the method of loci,…
