Abstract
Transfer from a serial to a paired-associate (PA) list was investigated. In the experimental condition both serial and PA lists contained the same items, arranged in the same order. In the control condition the same PA list was preceded by a serial list composed of different items. If associations are formed between the items of a serial list, the experimental PA list should be learned faster than its control. No differences between the learning of the 2 PA lists were obtained. The results of the present experiment were interpreted as being unfavorable to an interitem association theory of serial learning.
