Abstract

After learning a 16-pair verbal discrimination (VD) list to criterion, Ss were transferred to a 24-pair list. The transfer list was composed of three sublists of eight pairs each; one sublist was formed by pairing correct items from the first list, a second sublist was formed by pairing incorrect items from the first list, and the third sublist was composed of pairs of new items. Performance on the transfer list was found to be highest for the new pairs and lowest for the pairs comprised of previously correct items. The results were interpreted as providing strong support for the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning.
