Abstract
The retention of partial information concerning paired associates was shown as follows. After one paired presentation of either short word-short word pairs or simple design single letter pairs, adult Ss were provided with all the stimuli and responses and asked to match them. They were then asked to give a second guess by rearranging only the pairings that had been wrong on the 1st guess. Better-than-chance matching on the 2nd guess showed that some information about the pairings was present in spite of the error on the 1st guess. The results disconfirm the idea that connections among short words, single letters or conventional designs must be learned all-or-none in a recognition task.
