Abstract

The effects of percent occurrence of response members (% ORM), type of list (competitive vs. noncompetitive), commonality scores (C) and initial associative strength (IAS) upon the acquisition of a paired-associate list by 80 fifth-grade children were investigated. Acquisition was directly related to % ORM, IAS, C, and type of list. A significant interaction between IAS and type of list showed IAS to have a direct effect on the noncompetitive list but no effect on the competitive list. Error analysis disclosed more extralist than intralist errors with the noncompetitive list and the reverse with the competitive list.
