Article describes experiment whereby it was established that with verbal-discrimination learning overt pronunciation facilitated a freer recall than covert pronunciation. (Author/MM)

A learning-to-learn approach was taken in the present study in an attempt to draw the subjects' attention to the associative relations among items and to examine whether the presentation of four functionally equivalent interitem lists would result in the subjects' using a higher cognitive strategy. (Author/RK)

Tests were made of the effects of conceptual associations among words, a type of associative relationship not previously manipulated, on verbal discrimination learning. (Editor)

Subjects' rehearsal strategies in learning a 32-pair mixed list of high- and low-imagery pairs of nouns during the four study trials in an alternating study/test presentation were measured. (Editor)

The present study replicated the procedure of Kausler et al. (1975) as a means of testing further the hypothesis that the processing of wrong items differs qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, from the processing of right items. (Author)

One of the concerns of the present study was to determine the effects of Right and Wrong items under conditions that do not reduce the opportunity to rehearse the Right items in practice. (Author/RK)

Conclusions from five experiments were: that the frequency of implicit associational responses has minimal effect on verbal-discrimination and two-category classification learning; and that the intrapair associations which do develop in verbal-discrimination learning are not critically involved in the making of those discriminations. (Authors/CB)

Article describes an experiment showing through paired associate testing how different groups can have the same total learning time. (Author/MM)

This data on transfer and list identification, combined with those reported by Petrich et al. (1975), strongly suggest that the decision component is the major factor affecting the free recall of successive overlapping lists. This decision component is best described by Anderson and Bower's model (1972) of the roles of list tagging and contextual…

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)

Experiment was concerned with the validity of the assumptions involved in the proposal of some minor modifications in the frequency theory of verbal-discrimination learning. (Author/CB)

Experiment conducted to determine the different effects of a mediational method of verbal learning and visual-discrimination verbal learning. (Author/MM)

The present paper reports the results of four experiments on verbal discrimination learning. These experiments manipulated the associative properties and the language frequency of stimuli, as well as the pairings of "right' and "wrong' items within a list. (Author)

Investigates the prediction that the usual superiority of pictures over words for repetitions of the same items would disappear for items that were different instances of repeated categories. (Author/RK)
