Adaptive memory: animacy effects persist in paired-associate learning.
Recent evidence suggests that animate stimuli are remembered better than matched inanimate stimuli. Two experiments tested whether this animacy effect persists in paired-associate learning of foreign words. Experiment 1 randomly paired Swahili words with matched animate and inanimate English words. Participants were told simply to learn the English "translations" for a later test. Replicating e...
متن کاملSymbol/Meaning Paired-Associate Recall: An “Archetypal Memory” Advantage?
The theory of the archetypes and the hypothesis of the collective unconscious are two of the central characteristics of analytical psychology. These provoke, however, varying reactions among academic psychologists. Empirical studies which test these hypotheses are rare. Rosen, Smith, Huston and Gonzales proposed a cognitive psychological experimental paradigm to investigate the nature of archet...
متن کاملPaired-associate learning, phoneme awareness, and learning to read.
We report two studies examining the relations among three paired-associate learning (PAL) tasks (visual-visual, verbal-verbal, and visual-verbal), phoneme deletion, and single-word and nonword reading ability. Correlations between the PAL tasks and reading were strongest for the visual-verbal task. Path analyses showed that both phoneme deletion and visual-verbal PAL were unique predictors of a...
متن کاملA Forgetting Model for Paired-Associate Learning
This paper presents a Markov model for paired-associate learning which is based on conclusion drawn from experimental studies of short-term memory. Learning of paired-associates is considered as a decrease in the probability of forgetting an association between trials. The ability of the model to account for experimental results is demonstrated by considering data from two experiments involving...
متن کاملThe role of meaningfulness in paired-associate verbal learning.
A series of investigations (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) has been concerned with identifying and quantifying some of the variables which determine performance in verbal learning. In the first of these studies, Noble (4) developed a rational scale of meaningfulness (m) consisting of 96 dissyllabic nouns and paralogs ordered in terms of frequency of continued written associations in 60 sec. The m scale meets t...
