The Flynn effect: A meta-analysis
The Flynn effect refers to the observed rise in IQ scores over time, which results in norms obsolescence. Although the Flynn effect is widely accepted, most efforts to estimate it have relied upon "scorecard" approaches that make estimates of its magnitude and error of measurement controversial and prevent determination of factors that moderate the Flynn effect across different IQ tests. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the magnitude of …

The Relative Importance of Associative Strategy and Motivation to Learn in Paired-Associate Learning
The study was designed to evaluate the relative contributions of mnemonic strategy and motivation to learn as facilitating influences in paired-associate learning. Sixty male and female undergraduates were asked to recall a list of 60 nouns under one of three motivation-to-learn conditions: (a) incidental learning, (b) intentional learning, and (c) intentional learning with incentive to learn. Within each motivation-to-learn condition, half of th…

Effects of Adjective Imagery on Recall from Prose
The study examined recall of adjectives and nouns from two prose passages that differed only in the imagery value of their adjectives. It was predicted that (a) visual interference would counteract any facilitative effect of high adjective imagery, and (b) adjective imagery would interact with Ss' tendency to use verbal or visual strategies. Ss were 30 female and 23 male university students who had completed the Paivio Individual Differences Ques…
