Abstract
Summary Two words may be associatively related in that one word elicits the other in free association or in that they each evoke many of the same other words as responses in free association. These relationships, called Intrahierarchy relatedness and Interhierarchy relatedness, respectively, may each lead to facilitation in verbal transfer. In the present study two levels of each relationship were employed in a factorial design to investigate the effect of each relationship in the chaining paradigm (A-B, B-C, A-C) and response-equivalence paradigm (A-B, C-A, C-B). The results of these experiments indicate that the level of Interhierarchy relatedness differentially affects amount of transfer, while level of Intrahierarchy relatedness has a small and unreliable effect on the amount of transfer.
