Associative transfer in motor paired-associate learning as a function of amount of first-task practice.

Abstract
4 experiments were conducted to study interference in the A-B, A-C design with motor paired-associate tasks. With an A-B, D-C as the control condition found that the amount of interference on the A-C relative to the D-C condition was an increasing function of amount of Task I practice. In addition the amount of interference in Task II is an increasing function of amount of first-task practice when nonspecific transfer is experimentally controlled. 15 references.
