Abstract
Students in four high school psychology classes learned the names attached to line-drawn facial features. After each of three multiple-choice acquisition trials, subjects were also given transfer tests on names for the full faces (all four features together). A final retention test on all acquisition materials (individual features) was then given. In acquisition, subjects worked in pairs, alternately performing (selecting the names) or observing (watching paired performer respond). Correct names were shown by slide after all performers had responded. Observers in two of the classes scored paired performers’ responses as correct or incorrect. The results revealed no reliable main effects for the observer-scoring variable but a number of reliable interactions. A highly generalized inhibitory effect in both acquisition and transfer could be attributed to the observer-scoring variable, with males but not females affected.
