Koutstaal, Smith, and Panyard's (1972) theory for the serial and paired-associate learning of alphabetic cues was extended by Smith and Koutstaal (1972) to the learning of phonemic CCVCs. A monotonic function was predicted and obtained for the four categories of the linguistic theory for both initial and second learning after 7 mo. A linguistic theory for the paired-associate learning of words in Umbu is discussed.
