Abstract
Transfer from free-recall pair learning to free-recall sentence learning was studied in a 3 by 3 factorial experiment The first variable was the intrapair sequence of the List 1 pairs; noun-verb, verb-noun, or noun-noun. Jlie pairs in a given list entered an A-B, A-B, an A-B, CD, or an A-B, A-Br transfer paradigm with the corresponding sequence in the noun-verb-noun sentences in List 2, therefore transfer paradigm was the second variable. The major finding was that, in general, sentence learning was fastest in the A-B, A-B paradigm, intermediate in the A-B, C-D paradigm, and slowest in the A-B, A-Br paradigm These transfer results paralleled the findings of other transfer studies, and were interpreted in terms ofSs using the learned sequences from pair learning to integrate the sentences. Analysis of intrasentence sequence acquisition suggested that the manner in which the sequences are used to integrate the sentence may be quite complex.
