Abstract
A set of high and a set of low meaningful English words were each arranged in two different orders so as to maximize and to minimize association between adjacent items. The performance of Ss learning these lists suggests that, with these materials, adjacent-item association level is as powerful as meaningfulness in its effect upon list difficulty. These results support an item-associative view of the functional stimulus. Ancillary findings suggest list structure affects the strategies used by Ss.
