A 3×3 factorial design was used to assess the effects of number of stimuli and of number of response alternatives in paired-associate learning upon the learning rate constant as determined by a duo-process paired-associate learning model. An increase in number of stimuli significantly decreased the learning rate constant while no significant relationship between number of alternatives and the learning rate constant was found.
