Abstract
Two hypotheses were tested: associates to sexual words will be learned and retained less efficiently than associates to neutral or unpleasant words, and anxious Ss will show a greater relative difficulty in learning and retention of associates to sexual words as compared with associates to neutral and unpleasant words than will normal Ss. Neither hypothesis was confirmed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
