Abstract
45 university Ss practiced balancing on a stabilometer to a performance criterion (Day 1) and then were designated as fast, medium, and slow learners based on the number of trials needed to attain it. Each S received an additional number of trials the following day (Day 2) equal to the number needed to reach the criterion (100% overlearning). Absolute and relative retention scores were calculated following a retention interval of 1 wk. No significant difference was found between the fast and slow learners on absolute recall, although the results favored the fast learners. The fast learners showed significant reminiscence between Day 1 and Day 2 and following the 1-wk. retention interval. It was concluded that the "equal amount learned" method did not discriminate against the fast learner and that speed of learning may be an important factor in determining whether or not reminiscence occurs following the attainment of a performance criterion.
