Abstract
R-S learning was measured in single- and double-function lists of adjectives as a function of degree of 1st-list training (either 9 or 40 trials). It was predicted that as degree of 1st-list learning increased, positive transfer would increase in the R-S learning of the single-function list, and that negative transfer would increase in the R-S learning of the double-function list. The results tend to support the hypothesis. Positive transfer was found in the R-S learning of the single-function list, and negative transfer was found in the learning of the double-function list. However, as degree of 1st-list learning increased, positive transfer occurred during the early R-S trials of the double-function list. This positive transfer continued until the 6th trial, after which negative transfer was obtained. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
