Abstract
"An experiment was conducted to study facilitation and impairment of performance as a function of mediated associations in a modified A-B, A-C transfer paradigm. Children in Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 were required to learn two lists of six paired associates composed of six stimuli and three responses. In List 2, the pairs were arranged so that learning could be facilitated by mediated associations or impaired by mediated associations . . ‥ The results indicated that the condition designed to produce facilitation through mediated associations led to superior performance when compared with the condition designed to produce impairement through mediated associations. Performance on the control pairs was superior, however, to that of both of the mediation conditions." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
