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.

Development of Verbal Selective Learning

Developmental Neuropsychology, 2007
Using incentive-based auditory word recall we studied the efficiency of selective learning in children ages 6-18 years. We found effects of age for both selective learning efficiency and for total words recalled, which differed in developmental trajectory.

A learning of object structures by verbalism

Proceedings of the 9th conference on Computational linguistics -, 1982
In this paper an attempt of learning by verbalism is shown in order to create the models for ancidentification of unknown objects. When we expect a computer to recognize objects, the models of them must be given to it, however there are cases where some objects may not be, matched to the models or there is no model with which object is compared.

Cautiousness and Verbal Learning in Adulthood

Journal of Gerontology, 1978
Twenty-two young (age 17-21)and 22 old (age 60-74) men and women participated in an investigation designed to determine the extent to which age differences in omission errors and performance in a serial learning task are accounted for by cautiousness.

Verbal learning in Alzheimer's dementia

Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 2003
Many recent findings in Western countries suggest that episodic recall is the most sensitive discriminator between patients with mild Alzheimer disease (AD) and the normal elderly, while semantic memory tends best to differentiate between moderate and severe AD patients.

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 ...
