Young and old white ( n = 48) and black ( n = 48) women were compared on a paired-associate learning task. The groups were divided as to a motivational instructional condition of support, challenge, or neutral. Both the younger and the white groups had more correct responses and learned in fewer trials. A three-way interaction suggests that old blacks make more errors of omission and commission under supportive instructions, whereas young whites do best under challenge. Various trends and implications for these findings were discussed.

Auditory Monitoring

The effects of interference with auditory feedback on two verbal learning tasks were studied. Twenty-seven adults without speech or hearing handicaps practiced two verbal tasks (reading comprehension and paired associate) under three auditory monitoring conditions. A synchronous auditory feedback condition provided amplified but almost simultaneous auditory feedback. To provide an irrelevant feedback condition, S’s heard their own previously recorded voices reading other material. Delayed auditory feedback provided a second experimental condition. Results confirmed that delayed auditory feedback interfered significantly with efficient verbal learning. A clear and direct relationship between the amount and relevance of verbal feedback and the efficiency of speech-based learning was demonstrated.

The Relationship

In studies of the incidence and prognosis of disease in the elderly it is valuable to have an objective measure of the patient's mental state. In a previous paper (Isaacs, 1962) a paired-associate verbal learning test devised by Inglis (1959) was applied to a group of 50 normal and 100 hospitalized old people, and was found to give useful information on the relationship between test performance and such factors as incontinence of urine and prognosis for rehabilitation. In the present study a simplified version of this test was performed on a larger number of elderly hospital patients. The test proved valuable in determining the characteristics of patients with varying degrees of mental impairment.

Significant Impairment

50 female undergraduate students were administered 2 paired-associate learning tasks (verbal and visual) and assigned on the basis of their scores on the rod-and-frame test to extreme field-dependent and field-independent groups. No significant difference was found between the two groups on the visuo-perceptive paired-associate tests. Compared to the field-independent Ss, however, the field-dependent Ss showed significant impairment on the verbal task ( U = 18, p < .01). These findings are discussed in terms of possible dominant (left) cerebral hemisphere involvement in field dependency.

Stimulus Familiarization

The direction and magnitude of transfer from stimulus familiarization (SF) training to a subsequent paired-associate (PA) task were assessed under 18 variations of 3 factors, namely, presence or absence of irrelevant items in the SF task, frequency of presentation of items in SF, and mode of responding (articulation or nonarticulation) to the words both during the SF task and when they appeared as stimulus terms in the subsequent PA task. When only relevant words were familiarized, both positive and negative transfer were obtained and systematically related to response mode and frequency. Introduction of irrelevant items to control for total amount of SF time abolished the consistency and predictability of SF effects. Positive transfer was discussed as the expected outcome of SF and negative transfer as an artifact of certain experimental procedures.
