Abstract

After paired-associate learning to one of three degrees of learning with compound stimuli, the stimulus components were presented in isolation and S required to respond with the other components and the response. Response recall failure precluded recall of other components. This result was shown not traceable to a small number of such events, to item selection, or to the possibility that S forms intercomponent associations only after forming component-response associations. When the response was recalled, recalls of other components were frequent but stochastically independent of each other. Nevertheless, standard stimulus selection phenomena occurred. These analyses deny the general assumption that stimulus components become interassociated during paired-associate learning.
