Three hypotheses were tested and verified by the results: (a) Ss select the first temporal item of a series as cognitively first when instructional and structural bases for differentiation are not provided by E; (b) Ss also tend to cognize a structurally isolated item as first in th…

  • Serial-Position Curve of Verbal Learning after Prolonged Practice

    This study investigated the effect of prolonged practice on the serial-position curve of learning. Thirteen Ss learned to a criterion of two perfect recitations by the anticipation method 12 different serial lists of 10 nonsense syllables, one list being learned each day. The hypothesis was that the skewness of the serial-position curve is produced by S's span of immediate memory. The prediction was that an increase in the memory span due to prac…
