Abstract
Two mathematical models of paired-associate learning (the One Element Model and the Single Operator Linear Model) were used to develop optimal strategies for presenting speeling words of 42 elementary school children. The study was conducted within a coputer-based drill and practice project using computer terminals with audio capability.For the study two computer programs were developed. One program presented and corrected a daily list of sixteen words for each student. The second program planned lessons for each student from the list of 48 words the student was studying. Words for a lesson were selected by the second program as a function of the mathematical model each word represented and the child's previous performance on each word.An analysis of the correct response made by each child through the study demonstrated that the strategy derived from the One Element Model produced significantly better final performance than the strategy developed from the Single Operator Linear Model.
