Effects of Speech Rate, Selection. Difficulty, Association Strength and Mental Aptitude on Learning by Listening
In two factorial experiments, adult, male Ss, aged 18–25 listened to tape recorded passages presented at different rates of speech.

Results indicated that low aptitude men learned the easier material better than the difficult material as a function of decre…
