Compared were the performances of 45 normal and 45 slow learners (all in junior high school) on a task of original and relearning of paired associate responses as a result of induced success or failure following each response. Ss were asked to pair stick figures with consonant trigrams and then told their performance was either correct or wrong…

Three studies were conducted to investigate the effects of extended syntactic elaboration conditions on paired-associate learning. Earlier studies have indicated that such conditions have facilitated paired-associate learning of retarded children. Study I involved 30 first grade children. As in previous studies, embedding stimuli to be associated…

A comparative study of nonverbal MA matched groups of five autistic, five aphasic, five normal and five retarded children (3 to 16 years old) was made on an auditory-visual and a visual-visual paired-associate learning task. (Author)

Pretest measures of paired-associate learning and mediational skill were obtained on 36 educable mentally retarded children in primary grades, after which the children were assigned in groups of 12 to an intentional training condition, an observational learning condition, and a control group condition.

By comparing a retarded reader's performance on paired associate and serial learning, results are expected to show the differences in types of learning problems. (Author/DEP)
