An orthogonal design was used to evaluate the relative effectiveness of motor and vocal correction for adult Ss learning a 15-pair discrimination task. Both affected performance, but vocal correction had a considerably stronger effect and combined motor and vocal correction was not more effective than vocal correction alone. It was noted that the variability of performance, as well as the mean number of errors, was reduced by correction.

Thirty-two college students were required to learn the relevant dimension in each of two randomized lists of auditorily presented stimuli. The stimuli consisted of seven pairs of CV nonsense syllables differing by two relevant dimension units and from zero to seven irrelevant dimension units. Stimulus dimensions were determined according to Saporta’s units of difference. No significant differences in performance as a function of number of the irrelevant dimensions nor characteristics of the relevant dimension were observed.
