Learning And Performance

The aims of the present investigation were to explore the hypothesis that a short anticipation interval in verbal paired-associate learning affects performance rather than learning and to design a procedure suitable for preschool-aged children. One group of Ss received practice on a paired-associate list with a short anticipation interval while another group learned the same list with a longer anticipation interval. When the interval of the former group was increased, they performed as well as the latter group. The results suggest that the number of trials administered in a verbal paired-associate task is a better measure of learning than S's level of performance.

Recall Procedure

The role of interference as an age-related variable in RI and PI as a function of anticipation interval and transfer paradigm was studied by employing different transfer paradigms (A-B, A-C; A-B, C-B; A-B, C-D), and by varying the anticipation interval (2 sec. or 4 sec.). 60 young ( M = 27.42 yr.) and 60 elderly adults ( M = 68.73 yr.) learned 2 lists of paired adjectives to an 8/8 criterion and then recalled the lists by means of a written modified method of free recall. Significant age differences in RI and PI were found, with the old Ss showing disproportionately more RI under the 2-sec. A-B, A-C high interference condition. Neither anticipation interval nor transfer paradigm contributed to age differences in PI. Results indicated that adult age differences in RI and PI as measured by the unpaced modified free-recall procedure essentially agree with those in RI and PI studies using relearning and paced recall tests.

Anticipation Interval

A study was conducted to investigate the form of the heart-rate (HR) response in anticipation of a brief visual stimulus and to determine whether the form of the response changed over trials. 14 college undergraduates were exposed to 12 presentations of a visual stimulus which they were asked to identify. Half the Ss were presented with the stimulus every 10 sec., half every 15 sec. HR was recorded for each second during the anticipation intervals. The results indicated that the cardiac anticipatory response in the 10-sec. group was triphasic—a slight deceleration, followed by an acceleration, followed by a deceleration of approximately equal magnitude, and that the response habituated during the last block of four trials. In the 15-sec. interval the anticipatory response was observed to be primarily biphasic (acceleration-deceleration) and still appeared to be in the process of development by Trial 12. The triphasic HR response was interpreted as an index of the cardiac orientation reaction which habituated as a temporal “neuronal model” was formed.
