Abstract
Paired associates involving either picture or word stimuli were presented by the study-test method. In test trials Ss were tested for stimulus recognition as well as associative recall. Pictures and words were used as test-trial items in conjunction with both picture and word study-trial stimuli. Recognition and recall were superior when pictures rather than words were study-trial stimuli, but there was no difference between picture and word test lists. The study-trial difference disappeared when stimulus recognition was held constant, suggesting that the effect is based on differences in discrimination or encoding rather than intrapair association.
