Aural paired-associates were learned by the study-test method. On test trials, the study-trials stimuli were randomly intermixed among new stimuli and the Ss, prior to responding, had to indicate whether the presented stimulus was old or new. It was found that correct responding was contingent upon stimulus recognition, and that correct responding given nonrecognition of the stimulus was at the chance level.
