Paired-Associate Learning by Anticipation and Non-Anticipation Methods: Supplementary Data

Abstract

Groups learning paired-associates by either the anticipation or non-anticipation method were given a single test after 6 trials and then 5 more tests in series after 9 trials. No differences between learning methods were obtained on either initial testing or the recall series. The results confirm previous findings that the methods yield equivalent learning, suggesting that informational feedback is unnecessary for verbal associative formation.
