Peer reviewedYen, Wendy, M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
An information processing model was fitted to individual learning of paired associates and word definitions for 378 fifth to tenth-grade students. Reliable individual differences in acquisition rate and long-term retention were found. Correlations with traditional aptitude and achievement scores were discussed; no significant sex or ethnic group…

Peer reviewedGustafsson, Jan-Eric – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
The effects of imagery instructions on fifth-graders with differing abilities were examined through within-class analysis and analysis in which class effects were allowed to have influence. In the latter analysis there were significant Aptitude X Treatment interactions with subscores derived from paired-associate tasks. Interactions were…

Peer reviewedCox, William F., Jr. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1978
To detect the underlying structural relationship or chain among certain memorized pairs, two groups of undergraduates verbally reordered previously memorized pairs of either concrete or abstract nouns. The superior performance of the concrete word subjects was attributed to the differential effect of imaginal versus verbal encoding. (Author/CP)

Peer reviewedWilliams, Joanna; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1973
In these studies, authors sought to examine the role of mode of presentation in a verbal learning task, within the context of age-grade differences in two social groups. (Authors/CB)

Zacks, Rose T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Findings showed that the different conditions of acquisition produce equivalent long-term retention. (Author/MB)

Peer reviewedKirk, Winifred J.; Johnson, John T., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Results were interpreted as supporting an inhibition deficit theory of mental retardation. (Authors)

Izawa, Chizuko – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
A new hypothesis is proposed to account for both superior and equal performances under the study-test method as compared with the anticipation method. (Author)

Peer reviewedPurdy, Jesse E.; Luepnitz, Roy R. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Sixty-four subjects were presented pictures and later asked to draw them or provide one-word descriptions to test the hypothesis that decreased retention effectiveness occurs because images stored in long-term memory are accessible only through their verbal labels. Recall of pictures was significantly greater than recall of words. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedWeinstein, Claire E. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1982
The effects of a diversified imaginal and verbal elaboration strategy training program upon the learning and retention (efficiency) of ninth-grade students was investigated. The results, using free recall, modified serial recall, paired-associate learning, and reading comprehension tests, indicate that students can be trained to use elaboration to…
