Response and Associative Phase Components of Elaborative Prompt Effects in Children's Noun-Pair Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kee, Daniel W.; Rohwer, William D., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
The effects of aural and pictorial elaborative prompts were estimated separately for response and associative phase components of children's noun-pair learning. Indices of response learning revealed equivalent effects among prompt conditions whereas measures of associative learning demonstrated substantial performance facilitation as a function of…

Memory and "Contingency Analysis" in Infant Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Watson, John S. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly of Behavior and Development, 1967
In order to determine if infants possessed contingency awareness and if it were related to a temporal unit, two hypotheses were constructed. (1) Reinforcement of a response would probably lead to emission of that response only if the infant's next response occurred within a period of time during which he could remember the preceding…

Farley, Frank H.; Manske, Mary E. – 1970
Heart rate change was used as the index of the orienting response (OR) of 102 kindergarten children. Heart rate change was measured by recording heart rate upon the presentation of tones. 15 similar tones followed by a different, 16th tone, were used. From this data the children were divided into high, medium, or low orientors. Following the…

Farley, Frank H.; Manske, Mary E. – 1969
Heart rate change was used as the index of the orienting response (OR) of 102 kindergarten children. Heart rate change was measured by recording heart rate upon the presentation of tones. 15 similar tones followed by a different, 16th tone, were used. From this data the children were divided into high, medium, or low orientors. Following the…

Elaboration and Learning Efficiency in Four Ethnic Groups.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Kee, Daniel W.; Rohwer, William D., Jr. – 1972
Paired-associate learning efficiency was assessed within four low-SES ethnic populations (black, Chinese-American, Latino-American, and white) as a function of presentation conditions and method of measurement (verbal recall vs. pictorial recognition). A mixed-list paired-associate task was administered individually to 40 second grade children…

On Learning to Talk: Are Principles Derived from the Learning Laboratory Applicable?
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Palermo, David S. – 1966
While studies in learning and verbal behavior show that learning comes through paired-associate problems, they do not explain the acquisition of language. Three paradigms demonstrate mediation effect in paired-associate learning: response equivalence, stimulus equivalence, and chaining model. By reviewing children's language acquisition patterns…
