| Popis: | Eight paired nouns were learned by 112 sixth-grade Ss under one or another of seven different experimental conditions in which the task was administered by a study-trial, test-trial method. On every study trial, each pair of nouns was presented in the context of a grammatical string of words and the experimental conditions were distinguished by differences in the composition of these strings. The form class of connectives was varied by comparing conjunctions, prepositions and verbs, and the intralist similarity of the strings was varied by manipulating the number of different words used as connectives within a list (two vs. four vs. eight). Preposition and verb connectives produced more rapid learning than conjunctions, regardless of the number of different connectives used. Thus, intralist similarity was rejected as an explanation of the inferiority of conjunction strings. |
