Findings from two studies that examined the effect of presentation order of examples and nonexamples on students' acquisition of concepts are reported. The first (Study I) compared the effect of a response-sensitive presentation (presentation order determined by the students' response) to a response-insensitive presentation (order predetermined and presented in random order). In addition, the effects of recycling missed instances were examined. The sample consisted of 116 sixth grade students who were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups or a control group. The concept of transfer propaganda was taught by two experienced teachers. Findings indicated that presentations that were response-sensitive and/or included the recycling of missed instances were no more effective than presentations that were insensitive or excluded recycling. The second (Study 2) was an attempt to replicate the findings concerning the recycling of missed instances in Study 1. In the second, 107 second grade students were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups or to a control group and taught the coordinate concepts of consumers and producers. Findings reported in Study 1 were replicated. Recycling missed instances was no more effective than no recycling
