The data from verbal learning studies have been partially instrumental in the development of the theory of extraversion-introversion (E-I) relative to levels of cortical arousal. In most of the studies relating E-I to verbal learning, the approach was to determine if there was an overall superiority for one of the personality groups. Differences…

Experiment was concerned with the validity of the assumptions involved in the proposal of some minor modifications in the frequency theory of verbal-discrimination learning. (Author/CB)

Research was designed to extend the encoding variability hypothesis to highly integrated verbal units and to explore the relationship between stimulus and response meaningfulness in an A-C transfer paradigm. (Authors)

Purpose of the study was to examine transfer in part-whole learning when both adjectives and nouns are used so as to determine if the phenomenon observed with nouns can be found with another part of speech. (Authors/DS)

Some salient concepts derived from the information sciences and currently used in theories of human memory are critically reviewed. The application of automata theory is proposed as a new approach in this field. The approach is illustrated by applying it to verbal memory. (Author)

Results indicate that the RCR (rehearsal-of-the-correct-alternative response) plays an important role such that when the RCR is inhibited, performance is reduced. (Authors/CB)

Four experiments using varying methodological factors examined the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning. (MB)
