Abstract
Mild electric shock was used to isolate the seventh syllable in a 12-item serial list of nonsense syllables. The shock isolation produced the usual von Restorff effect. In addition, the isolation produced a spread of effect to adjacent items and facilitated the learning of the entire list. The results were interpreted in terms of enhanced orienting reflexes produced by the shock.
