Abstract
FOUND EVIDENCE FOR THE LEARNING OF DOUBLE FUNCTION VERBAL DISCRIMINATION LISTS, IN WHICH THE SAME WORDS SERVE AS BOTH WRONG (W) AND RIGHT (R) ITEMS, BUT THE RATE OF LEARNING WAS MARKEDLY SLOWER THAN THAT FOR SINGLE FUNCTION LISTS. PERFORMANCE ON DOUBLE FUNCTION LISTS WAS ALSO FOUND TO COVARY POSITIVELY WITH SUBSEQUENT RECALL OF W-R AND R-W ASSOCIATIONS. PRESUMABLY, ASSOCIATIVE PROCESSES PROVIDE DISCRIMINABLE CUES FOR RECOGNIZING R ITEMS IN DOUBLE FUNCTION LISTS WHEN DIFFERENTIAL FREQUENCY OF RESPONDING TO W AND R ITEMS CANNOT RELIABLY DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN INTRAPAIR W AND R ITEMS.
