Abstract

The results of learning studies are often unclear because the effects of subjects' personality characteristics on performance are ignored. In the present research, serial list acquisition was predicted by four of Cattell's temperament factors: Premsia (tender-mindedness), Protension (suspiciousness), High Ergic Tension (tenseness), and General Intelligence. These variables accounted for one-third of the variance in serial learning which would otherwise have been unexplained.
