EFFECTS OF TWO TECHNIQUES FOR IDENTIFYING DISCRIMINATIVE STIMULUS-TERM ELEMENTS ON PER FORMANCE DURING PAIRED-ASSOCIATE TRAINING,
Abstract
It has recently been proposed that a list of two or more paired-associates is learned fastest if the mediating response to each stimulus term takes little time and energy to give, and-the stimulus properties of each such response are minimally confusable with those of responses to other stimulus terms and response terms from the list. The two experiments reported here studied the effects of two techniques. Some were told that no two stimulus-term trigrams began with the same letter (Instruction Group). For others the first letter of each of the trigrams was red, and the other two letters were black (Isolation Group). The performance of both groups was compared with that of a Control Group for which all the letters were black and which received no information about the structure of the trigrams, and with the performance of groups for which the stimulus terms were the first letters of the trigrams.
