Results show the major effect of word association over rhyming as an organizational basis in a list where either or both types are possible. (Author/MB)

Evaluation of two components of transfer--response learning and associative learning--was accomplished by comparing the recall method with the multiple-choice method. (Author/CB)

Purpose of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between stimulus recognition and various learning conditions which were designed to affect both stimulus encoding and associative learning in a paired-associate task. (Authors)

This study is the fourth in a series of studies that have attempted to examine the relationship between two separate aptitude factors--associative memory and reasoning--to various performance criteria in a hierarchical learning task utilizing computer-assisted instruction. Two clear effects seem to emerge from the data. During learning, the…

It was observed that whereas in the average IQ level, the high-SES sample did better than the low-SES sample in short-term memory, this was reversed in the low IQ level. (Authors)

Eighty nursery school children were randomly divided into four groups of 20 and given a serial short-term memory task in which difficult-to-label stimuli were used. Three experimental groups were provided with labels for the stimuli. Of these, one group overtly pronounced the labels and rehearsed them during the task, one group merely pronounced…

Results of the three experiments provided little evidence that the scores on associative matching were adversely affected by prior performance on any of the three modified free-recall tasks. (Authors)

Article deals with an encoding variability view of retention. (Authors)

Results illustrate that instructions to use imagery facilitate the intentional and the incidental learning of both normal and educable retarded children. (Authors)

Even though response latency can vary greatly among subjects and from trial to trial for the same subject, latency as a measure of associate strength might be useful in connection with response frequency to measure degree of learning. The effects on latency and learning of two task variables--training procedure (anticipation vs. recall) and…
