Spelke, Elizabeth S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Infants viewed two objects that bounced in synchrony with two percussion sounds in order to learn about the relationships between sound and object. Learning was revealed in two ways: in a search test and in a transfer test. (Author/DB)

Anooshian, Linda J.; Prilop, Lissa – Child Development, 1980
Two experiments investigate the relationship between developmental trends for auditory selective attention, and dependence on central/incidental word relations. Subjects were 48 children each from first, fourth, and seventh grades, and 48 adults. (CM)

Hunt, R. Reed; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979
The extent to which an orienting activity exerts control over the encoding process was studied. Two experiments were reported in which associative meaningfulness was varied under conditions of semantic and nonsemantic processing. Both experiments showed effects of meaningfulness following both semantic and nonsemantic tasks. (Author/MH)

Underwood, Benton J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Tests the theory that culturally associated words in a pair and nonassociated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. (Editor/RK)

Wolter, Brent – System, 2002
Investigates whether it may still be possible to develop a word association test for assessing proficiency in a foreign language. A multiple-response word association test was constructed with careful consideration of prompt words as defining criterion. The test was administered to learners, and scores were correlated with C-test scores. Results…

Pressley, Michael; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1988
Elaborative interrogation was compared to the construction of imaginary representations to determine its efficacy in fact learning. Four experiments, involving a total of 260 undergraduate students, indicated that elaborative interrogation is equally as powerful a learning procedure as is imaginary representation and that both are useful during…

Kyllonen, Patrick C.; Tirre, William C. – Intelligence, 1988
Individual differences in retention, with an emphasis on their relationship with learning speed and other cognitive factors, were studied in 685 military recruits. In all of the forgetting conditions, the fastest learners remembered more and relearned faster. Results support the existence of individual differences in retention. (SLD)

Park, Keith – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 1995
This article presents a brief overview of the literature pertaining to the use of objects of reference by people with deaf-blindness. It suggests that the establishment of nonsymbolic object use in appropriate routines may facilitate the acquisition of the symbolic use of objects. (MDM)

Shea, Charles H.; Kohl, Robert M. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1990
Describes two experiments which examined how supplementing specific practice experiences with variable practice experiences influenced motor skill retention. Participants received varying trials of acquisition practice on a criterion force production task. Acquisition practice with variations of the criterion task led to better retention than…

Bauer, Patricia J.; Liebl, Monica; Stennes, Leif – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1998
Examined preschool children's inferences about the likely appearance of a target figure based on information about the figure's occupation or personality traits. Without explicit gender-category information, girls' performance on gender-consistent and gender-inconsistent trials was equivalent; boys performed better on same-sex attributes. With…

Woodward, Amanda L.; Hoyne, Karen L. – Child Development, 1999
Two studies examined whether 1-year olds' name learning during joint attention was guided by expectation that names will be in the form of spoken words. Results showed that 13-month olds, but not 20-month olds, learned a new sound/object correspondence, as evidenced by their choosing targets reliably in responses to hearing the word or sound on…

Greeno, James G.; And Others – American Journal of Education, 1997
Examines the relations between research about processes of learning and thinking and educational practices that attempt to achieve that aim. Three research perspectives, behaviorist, cognitive, and situative, that characterize thinking and learning to think differently are discussed. It argues that the situative perspective can provide a framework…

Roberts, Alvin – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2001
This article presents the eight laws of association theory and applies four of them to strategies for teaching transferable skills to individuals with visual impairments. Strategies described include situation forecasting, generalization, sense shifting, performing skills repetitively to facilitate the transfer habit, and assigning an intensity…
