A Statistical Description of Verbal Learning

Psychometrika, 1952
Free-recall verbal learning is analyzed in terms of a probability model. The general theory assumes that the probability of recalling a word on any trial is completely determined by the number of times the word has been recalled on previous trials. Three particular cases of this general theory are examined.

Speech Monitoring and Verbal Learning

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1963
The effects of interference with auditory feedback on two verbal learning tasks were studied. Twenty-seven adults without speech or hearing handicaps practiced two verbal tasks (reading comprehension and paired associate) under three auditory monitoring conditions.

Individual Differences in Verbal Learning

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1963
This study constituted pilot work in the prediction of individual differences on a group-administered paired-associate learning task. A battery of tests was administered to 101 Ss who had practiced for 7 min. on the group task. Scores on the Mechanics of Expression Test of the Cooperative English Test correlated significantly with the criterion ( r ...

Pronunciability in Verbal Learning of the Deaf

The Journal of Psychology, 1973
Summary The investigation was concerned with the effect of rated pronunciability on learning of trigrams by three categories of deaf subjects differing in histories of hearing loss. Lists of trigrams of three levels of difficulty were presented through a memory drum to the three groups of 18 Ss each.

The simulation of verbal learning behavior

Papers presented at the May 9-11, 1961, western joint IRE-AIEE-ACM computer conference on - IRE-AIEE-ACM '61 (Western), 1961
An information processing model of elementary human symbolic learning is given a precise statement as a computer program, called Elementary Perceiver and Memorizer (EPAM). The program simulates the behavior of subjects in experiments involving the rote learning of nonsense syllables.

The Stimulus in Serial Verbal Learning

The American Journal of Psychology, 1961
The functional stimulus in serial verbal learning has not been identified specifically. Thus, when a series of items, A-B-C-D-E, etc., is learned as a serial list, it is difficult to determine whether the functional stimulus giving rise to Item D is C, all preceding items, the serial position of the item, all of these factors, or some other aspect of ...

A Model for Serial Verbal Learning

Psychometrika, 1965
A model for analyzing the learning process with a special emphasis on serial-position effect is proposed. This model consists of two analyses, one being an analysis of the learning process of each item in a list by a stochastic method, and the other being an analysis of serial-position effect in terms of pro- and retroactive inhibitions, and of ...

Delay of Verbal Reward in Verbal Conditioning and Selective Learning

Psychological Reports, 1965
Procedures closely modeled on conventional discrimination learning were employed in three experiments on delay of verbal reward ( N = 207). Two verbal responses were conditioned for each S with different delays of reward. Ss chose between the two responses, in a simultaneous presentation situation, on one out of each block of four trials. Forced trials

Origins of the journal of verbal learning and verbal behavior

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
The founding of the Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior is described as the culmination of the activities of the Committee on Linguistics and Psychology of the Social Science Research Council, the Office of Naval Research, and the Group for the Study of Verbal Behavior during the period from about 1950 to 1962.
