INTERACTION BETWEEN SUBJECT VARIABLES AND CONDITIONS OF LEARNING: A PRELIMINARY STUDY,

Abstract

A preliminary investigation was made of the interactions which might exist between certain individual differences and various learning conditions. Each subject learned a list of twenty paired objectives under one of the following modes on the Subject Matter Trainer: (a) the Quiz Mode, in which the subject could elicit the correct response to a given stimulus without first attempting to guess the correct answer; (b) the Modified-Quiz Mode, in which the subject was required to make one guess before being shown the correct response; (c) the Practice Mode, in which the subject was required to continue guessing until he discovered the correct response; and (d) the Single-Try Mode, in which the subject made a single guess on each item and was informed only that this guess was correct or incorrect. Fifteen subjects were assigned to each mode. (Author)
