Abstract
Two hypotheses were tested in a paired-associate learning task employing a total of 40 Ss: Those pairs eliciting the greatest number of associates will be more readily learned, and second, Ss giving a greater number of associates to other similar stimuli will learn paired-associates more rapidly. The data support the first but yield only slight support for the second hypothesis.Keywords
