Abstract
Sixth grade children learned a list of paired associates and then were randomly assigned to one of three lists. An unmixed list (UL) was constructed of AB-CD items which would provide neutral transfer from the first to the second list. Another UL was constructed by repairing the S-R components of the first list (AB-ABr) and thereby producing negative transfer. A mixed list (ML) contained half of the items from each of the two UL controls. The results of the comparison between the UL group and the ML group on the same AB-ABr test pairs showed superior performance by the ML group. No significant differences in performance were found on the AB-CD test items as a function of ML vs. UL designs.
