DALLETT, KENT M. – 1965
TWO GROUPS OF SUBJECTS, DESIGNATED PACED AND UNPACED, WERE USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER SELF-PACING IS ADVANTAGEOUS OR NECESSARY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENT TECHNIQUES OF MEMORIZING. EACH GROUP LEARNED 8 LISTS OF 25 WORDS EACH, 2 LISTS PER SESSION. AT THE FIFTH SESSION, THE PACED GROUP LEARNED TWO ADDITIONAL LISTS UNDER SELF-PACED CONDITIONS.…

Download full textPetrie, Hugh G. – 1969
This report attempts to determine to what extent the thesis that observation is theory-dependent holds in the area of verbal learning theory. This area was chosen because: (1) a philosophical criticism of verbal learning theory will contribute to the difficult task of investigating the border area between philosophy and psychology; and (2) no one…

Bugarin, Temotio Espina, Jr. – 1973
The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether a constant information processing rate would occur when subjects in verbal discrimination (VD) learning were presented a mixture of items of different lengths. Forty-two Naval Postgraduate School students served in a VD experiment with a random mixture of two-, three-, and four-word items at…

Hayes-Roth, Barbara; Thorndyke, Perry W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Three experiments investigated factors influencing the integration of facts acquired from texts. Subjects encountered related facts in the context of relatively long, meaningful texts, a single text, or in two separate texts. Results indicate that integration can occur in both cases. (SW)

Osborne, John W. – 1974
Subjects in an independent groups free learning experiment recalled list of low- or high-arousal words, matched for imagery and frequency and exposed randomly for 3 seconds and 9 seconds. Extrapolating neural consolidation theory to previous work on serial position effects led to the predictions that (1) arousal facilitates primacy; (2) arousal…

Peer reviewedSpiro, Rand J.; Anderson, Richard C. – American Educational Research Journal, 1981
Ausubel asserts that his work is impugned in various ways in Anderson, Spiro, and Anderson. This paper argues that a more careful reading of the original paper obviates most of Ausubel's concerns. (Author/GK)

Peer reviewedAusubel, David P. – American Educational Research Journal, 1980
Anderson, Spiro, and Anderson (EJ 189 658) assert that the author's assimilation theory of meaningful learning and retention is "hopelessly vague." Documented examination of these assertions indicates that they are unspecified, unsubstantiated, undocumented, and based on indisputable misrepresentation of published material and on logical…

Rabinowitz, Jan C.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
The hypothesis that free recall involves the generation of candidate items followed by a decision process was tested in a situation which compared a standard recall test with a test that involved the overt generation and recognition of candidate items. (SW)
