Ellis, Henry C.; Franklin, James B. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Examines the effects of having both a semantic and a superficial perceptual category for organizing lists of words in free recall. Discusses the effect of individual difference characteristics, such as personality characteristics of the subject, on the results. (EKN)

Peer reviewedNaglieri, Jack A.; Naglieri, Diane A. – Psychology in the Schools, 1981
Compared the standard scores and age scores obtained from the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT)(1965) and the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-R)(1981) with (N=88) preschool children. Results found the mean PPVT IQ and Mental Age scores were significantly higher. Discusses implications for using the PPVT-R. (Author)

Donaldson, Wayne; Bass, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Describes three experiments conducted to examine the superior retention of related word pairs when the second word in the pair required active construction by the subject. The results confirm the importance of subjects' checking solution adequacy and of associative relationships in recall. (PMJ)

Goldman, Susan R.; Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Trace strength was examined as a function of single and spaced-multiple encodings within and across the orthographic, acoustic, and semantic domains. Recall results revealed that multiple encodings yielded additive or greater than additive retention effects while the recognition accuracy results revealed additive or less than additive effects.…

Peer reviewedGoldstein, Howard; Mousetis, Lori – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1989
The effects of expressive modeling experiences on the observational learning of generative language by children with severe mental retardation was investigated. All six children (aged six-nine) demonstrated observational learning of responses modeled by their peers. Organizing the modeling experiences according to matrix-training principles…

Peer reviewedCorkill, Alice J.; And Others – Journal of Educational Research, 1988
Two experiments examined the relative effects of concrete and abstract advance organizers on students' memory for subsequent prose. Results of the experiments are discussed in terms of the memorability, familiarity, and visualizability of concrete and abstract verbal materials. (JD)

Peer reviewedPattington, James W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
A six-year-old nonvocal girl with autism who had acquired a variety of signs and imitative responses consistently failed to acquire a tact (labeling) repertoire. When procedures to transfer stimulus control from verbal to nonverbal stimuli were implemented, the subject quickly learned to tact all 18 target stimuli. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedYang, Chu-Ling; Wedman, John F. – Journal of Research and Development in Education, 1993
This study investigated conditions for optimizing college students' analogical problem solving. Students given pictorial (not verbal) representations of solutions to source problems were better problem solvers, as were students given a longer time. Students who derived personal solution principles to source problems were not superior to students…
