Wood, Gordon – J Exp Psychol, 1970
Descriptors: Discrimination Learning, Learning Processes, Paired Associate Learning, Recall (Psychology)
Brainerd, C. J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1980
Two experiments on how symmetrical difficulty factors (word familiarity and concreteness) affect stages of associative learning are reported. Learning parameters reacted in a qualitatively similar manner to stimulus and response manipulations. Paired associate items are represented in memory as unitary traces rather than as separate stimulus and…

Young, Rober K.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Three experiments were conducted in which expectations of learning and transfer based on associative theory or frequency theory differed from those based on a theory of mental imagery. (Editor)

Peer reviewedYuille, John C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
An experiment is reported in which connective recall, as well as noun recall, was obtained in a pair-associate learning, syntactic facilitation paradigm. Results were interpreted as consistent with the hypothesis that experimenter-supplied verb links facilitate noun pair learning by serving an instructional role, indicating to the subject how a…

Peer reviewedMcCall, James; Rae, Gordon – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1974
Results showed that visual presentation was superior to auditory which was, in turn, superior to a combined mode of presentation. (RB)

Peer reviewedEverston, 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)

Peer reviewedNewman, Slater E.; Jennette, A. Douglas – American Journal of Psychology, 1975
To test the prediction from generalization theory that the ease of learning an item will be inversely related to the size of the set of which it is a member, 80 subjects were exposed to a serially presented list of pairs for 15 trials. (Editor)

This report focuses on memory research, using 'interestingness' as a variable in paired-associate (PA) learning and retention. Nine PA lists were constructed from 'interestingness' ratings (high, medium, and low) on both stimulus and response sides, and controls over associative properties of stimulus and response terms. Subjects (162) were…

McCain, Floyd, Jr.; Brown, Laurence D. – 1969
Forty-two college undergraduates, 28 women and 14 men, were classified as analytic, categorical, or relational according to their responses on the Sigel Cognitive Style Test and were randomly assigned to verbal or pictorial conditions. The subjects were presented a series of slides involving the paired association of 9 three-letter nonsense…

Wilson, Margaret Patricia – 1973
The effects of instructional variables and individual differences upon structural learning tasks were studied. Eighty college students were given pretasks to test mathematical problem solving and paired-associate (PA) learning skills. Each subject was then given two PA learning tasks presented in a study-test format. Kinship terms served as…

Peer reviewedHall, James W. – American Journal of Psychology, 1972
The primary objective of the research reported in this paper was to examine the relationship between early formal school experiences and the development of certain learning and memory processes. (Author)

The focus of the study was on the paired-associate performance of retarded subjects of different levels of mental age under various instructional conditions. (WY)
