Repetition and task in verbal mediating-response acquisition.

Abstract
The 4-list A-B, C-B, A-D, C-D paradigm for mediated learning was studied. The first 2 lists were assumed from word association norms. A and C words on the last 2 lists were paired with a single motor response in recognition learning. Starting from the hypothesis that A-D list learning was an interference situation, practice levels and tasks were varied during the A-D list with 64 Ss. Important results on the last list were: (a) mediated words were learned faster than controls, and (b) the mediation effect diminished with increased practice on the mediator-acquisition (A-D) list.
