Roberts, Theresa A.; Vadasy, Patricia F.; Sanders, Elizabeth A. – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study addressed two areas of inquiry: 1) the influence of enlisting three underlying cognitive learning processes (CLPs) in alphabet learning, and 2) order effects for letter name and letter sound instruction. Alphabet instruction was designed to enlist Paired Associate Learning (PAL) only, PAL plus Orthographic Learning (OL), or PAL plus…

Brainerd, Charles J. – Child Development, 1978
Reports three experiments which examined whether three- and four-year-olds learn simple letter-numeral pair associations incrementally or in an all-or-none manner. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that these items were learned in an all-or-none manner. (JMB)

Brody, Gene H.; And Others – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1978
Presents a study of imagery induction during paired associate learning by preschool children. Studies the effect of experimenter-generated interactions between the stimulus pairs to be learned, self-generated interactions, and a combination of the two, on imagery induction. (BD/BR)

Everston, Carolyn M.; Wicker, Frank W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Paired associate learning by children was studied as a function of age (4 vs 7 yr), stimulus type (line drawing, color photograph, or object), and mode of elaboration (visual or verbal). Results showed that objects and photographs both surpassed line drawings in terms of learning and that they did not differ significantly from each other. (SBT)

Mumbauer, Corinne C.; Miller, James O. – DARCEE Papers and Reports of George Peabody Coll. for Teachers, 1969
To continue exploration of the educational problems of deprived children, 32 disadvantaged and 32 advantaged children ranging in age from 4 years, 8 months to 5 years, 8 months, were selected to take a battery of tests designed to measure some of the skills and characteristics thought to be related to academic success. The factors measured and the…

Turnure, James; And Others – 1971
Three studies were conducted to investigate the effects of extended syntactic elaboration conditions on paired-associate learning. Earlier studies have indicated that such conditions have facilitated paired-associate learning of retarded children. Study I involved 30 first grade children. As in previous studies, embedding stimuli to be associated…

Keislar, Evan R.; Phinney, Jean – AV Communication Review, 1973
A discussion of experiments with four-year-old children posed with the paired-associate task of learning where nine different animals lived, using apparatus designed for self-instruction through picture matching. (Author)

Cook, Harold; Smothergill, Daniel – Child Development, 1971
The logical extension of results may be valuable in adding to our understanding of the variety of phenomena involving mediational processes, such as transposition, reversal and nonreversal shifts, imagery, concept formation, word meaning, and the effectiveness of verbal stimuli in discrimination and generalization.

Teager, Joyce; Stern, Carolyn – 1969
In order to investigate the effect of reinforcement on learning, 21 disadvantaged black children, 4 to 5 years of age, were divided among three treatment groups. Group I children received only feedback (information) as to the correctness or incorrectness of their responses. Group II children received a raisin for each correct response, and group…

Baumeister, Alfred A.; Maisto, Albert A. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Presents a study of paired-associative learning involving a total of 80 preschool and second grade children. Four familiarization categories of pretraining were utilized; results are discussed in terms of the effects of pretraining conditions and age on paired-associative learning and their consistency with some developmental hypotheses and phase…
