Abstract
100 college students were given a test battery designed to investigate the loadings of a series of verbal learning tasks on the Rote Memory and Span Memory factors. The tasks showed substantial loadings on the former, and negligible loadings on the latter factors. Method of presentation and constancy of order had no consistent effects. Practice produced a shift of the Repeated Span tests from the Span factor toward the Rote Memory factor. The free recall mode of response had no effect on the factor loadings. Additional factors specific to the experimental tasks were identified. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
