Abstract
"Similarity in connotative meaning and verbal habit strength as separate factors relating interlist stimulus words in subsequent paired-associate learning lists were compared as to their effectiveness in mediating response transfer across these lists." It was found that both of these variables "contribute independently to the mediation of response transfer and that the mediation effects contributed by verbal habit strength connections were as good if not better than those contributed by connotiative similarity within the subset of words used here. The theoretical relevance of these two factors was presented and discussed." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
