Abstract

Each subject learned four lists under condition AR (interitem associations among the right items of each list), condition AW (among the wrong items), or condition C (no associations), the first and fourth lists being run to a criterion of two successive errorless trials and the second and third lists for five trials. The results failed to support either frequency theory or the hypothesis that subjects learn higher-order approach or avoidance strategies with the presentation of successive, functionally equivalent lists. There was significant learning to learn in all conditions, but no main effect of condition and no interaction of condition by list (i.e., first, second, third, or fourth) on a measure of errors over five trials.
