Learning of Prose as Affected by Extra-Experimental Transfer

Two experiments investigated the learning of sentences whose words differed in their pre-experimental strength of association. Exp. I ( N = 12) compared the short-term retention of 2 synonymous, noun-is-adjective sentences, one having a strong association between noun and adjective ( Knife is sharp) with one having a weaker association ( Knife is cutting). Sentences having strong associations were better retained ( p < .01). Exp. II ( N = 22) compared noun-is-adjective sentences having wider ranges of pre-experimental associative strengths. A significant relation between short-term retention and associative strength was found, and the magnitude of the differences seemed surprisingly large
