Abstract
Nature of effects in serial learning of an isolated item (I) were examined as list length and serial position of I were varied. 180 soldiers learned series of 3, 7, 11, and 15 items with single Is and corresponding control items (CC) in varying serial positions to 3 errorless repetitions. Significant facilitation (lower errors) of I relative to CC occurred, but did not vary in magnitude with independent variables. Items immediately following I and all other items in I's series were facilitated by penultimate Is. The concept of generalization interference reduction does not adequately account for isolation effects. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
