Burcham, Temmie; And Others – Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1974
Descriptors: Auditory Perception, Aural Learning, Children, Exceptional Child Research
Download full textTaylor, Arthur M. – 1970
The reports of eight studies testing the effects of elaboration on the learning of children are compiled in this document. Mental elaboration is "thinking while learning" which occurs as the learner actively adds context to the material he is asked to process. Supplied elaboration, included in these studies, occurs when the learner is provided…

Taylor, Arthur M.; And Others – 1971
The effects of two types of elaboration training (imagery and sentence generation) on the paired associate learning of 32 educable mentally retarded children (aged 9 to 13 years were compared over two levels of verbalization (none and overt). Each S was first tested on a warmup list, then trained to generate elaborations, and finally given two…

Peer reviewedBurger, Agnes Lin; Blackman, Leonard S. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1976
The ability of 45 educable mentally retarded children (mean CA-11 years) to acquire and retain a mediational strategy for paired associate learning was demonstrated by a training procedure which consisted of the sequencing of consecutive lists under varying degrees of mediational facilitation.

And Others; Sperber, Richard D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Multiple discrimination problems were presented concurrently to retarded children for 1, 2, 4, or 8 massed trials a day for a total of 16 trials per problem. (Editor)

Thurlow, Martha L.; Turnure, James E. – 1971
The relative effectiveness of three types of elaboration (sentences, semantic paragraphs, and syntactic paragraphs) on paired associate learning in 75 educable mentally retarded Ss was tested under list lengths of eight, 12, 16 and 24 pairs. For all lists except the eight pair list, the elaborators were found to be equally and highly effective as…

Mankinen, Richard – 1972
Educable mentally retarded students were taught a verbal mediation learning strategy to determine if their performance pattern would correspond to learning potential designations derived with nonverbal materials. In comparisons of regular and special class groups using a picture paired-associates learning task, special class high-scorers performed…

Descriptors: Associative Learning, Exceptional Child Research, Learning Processes, Mental Retardation
Seitz, Sue; Merryman, Sandra – 1970
Using 48 educable mentally handicapped students (ages 12-18) as subjects, a study investigated the effect of prompted and trial-and-error procedures on the learning of a paired-associate task, when items (concrete nouns of less than six letters) in one list were drawn from the same categories (animals, food) and in a second list, from different…

Stinnett, Ray D.; Prehm, Herbert J. – 1969
Rote learning and retention performance was studied as a function of method used in original learning and as a function of intellectual level. Sixty educable mentally retarded and 60 mentally normal junior high school students were randomly selected and assigned to one of three treatment groups, each learning to a different criterion, for each…
