Abstract

EXP. I VARIED THE ANTICIPATION INTERVAL AND THE PAIR-PRESENTATION INTERVAL DURING THE LEARNING OF THE A-C LIST IN A B-C, A-B, A-C MEDIATION PARADIGM. THE RUSSELL AND STORMS (SEE 30:1) MATERIAL SHOWED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MEDIATED TRANSFER BUT THERE WAS NO SUGGESTION OF AN INTERACTION BETWEEN MEDIATION AND EITHER OF THE INTERVALS. EXP. II VARIED STIMULUS MEANINGFULNESS AND ANTICIPATION INTERVAL ON THE A-D LIST AFTER LEARNING AN A-C, A-B, A-X, OR E-X LIST CONSTRUCTED FROM THE RUSSELL AND STORMS MATERIAL. STIMULUS MEANINGFULNESS, ANTICIPATION INTERVAL, AND LISTS WERE EFFECTIVE VARIABLES AND THERE WAS AN INTERACTION BETWEEN LISTS AND STIMULUS MEANINGFULNESS BUT NO INTERACTION BETWEEN LISTS AND ANTICIPATION INTERVAL. THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF AN ASSOCIATIVE PROBABILITY THEORY. (20 REF.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
