Verbal Approval and Anxiety in Serial-Verbal Learning

Psychological Reports, 1968
In two experiments, each using 40 college student Ss, level of manifest anxiety and the presence or absence of verbal approval by E for a correct anticipation were varied. Verbal approval led to a decrement in performance for high-anxiety Ss and superior learning for low-anxiety Ss, whereas without verbal approval either high-anxiety Ss were superior ...

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.

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.

OmniH2O: Universal and Dexterous Human-to-Humanoid Whole-Body Teleoperation and Learning

Conference on Robot Learning
We present OmniH2O (Omni Human-to-Humanoid), a learning-based system for whole-body humanoid teleoperation and autonomy. Using kinematic pose as a universal control interface, OmniH2O enables various ways for a human to control a full-sized humanoid with

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 = .

Learning-to-learn verbal-discrimination lists

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1972
Subjects learned 7 successive 24-pair verbal-discrimination (VD) lists over 3 days. Group 1 had typical VD lists (Type 1). Group 2 had lists in which each wrong word was used twice in the list (Type 2). Group 1-2 learned 4 Type-1 lists followed by 3 Type-2 lists, and Group 2-1 had the reverse schedule.

Learning: Verbal Learning, Mnemonics, Transfer

1991
Our emphasis shifts in this chapter from nonverbal learning to verbal learning. The traditional tasks employed in verbal-learning research, both basic and gerontological, have been those of paired-associate learning and serial learning. In addition to reviewing aging research on these tasks, we will also review aging research in the related areas of ...

Verbal Learning and Memory

Annual Review of Psychology, 1977
s, mathematical models of learn­ ing, thinking and concept attainment, and cognitive development. It will be assumed that the reader has at least a limited acquaintance with the topics to be discussed. The previous review by Postman (84) provides background for current developments.
