Abstract

The subjects learned a list of nonsense syllables paired with words and presented with a relational, a nonrelational, or no mnemonic. The stimulus syllables formed three subgroups of similarity, and it was predicted that mnemonics would more reduce error responses to similar than distinctive stimuli. The results, however, indicated that mnemonics reduced confusions only between distinctive stimuli. Interpretations based on transfer of associative strength and grouping of similar pairs are discussed.
