Cue selection and mediated transfer in paired-associate learning.

Abstract
A replication was performed of the Underwood, Ham, and Ekstrand experiment on cue selection in paired-associate learning. The portion of their experiment dealing with trigram-color stimulus compounds was exactly replicated. Original learning used compound stimuli, transfer was used to each stimulus component alone. In addition 1 group of Ss was transferred to appropriate color names and ½ the Ss were required to spell the trigram stimuli aloud during learning. Ss were 80 undergraduates. Transfer was virtually complete to colors and color names but very poor to trigrams. Spelling the trigrams aloud had no statistically significant effect on the transfer performances.
