Positive Correlations

This study investigated the relation between performance in paired-associate learning and other verbal skills (verbal fluency to word and nonsense stimuli, recall of a word list). Ss learned two lists of word-CVC pairs. Significant positive correlations were found between fluency measures and learning of both lists. Recall scores were similarly correlated with second-list, but not first-list, learning.

Middle Letter

14 students in each of four groups learned a single unmixed list of 19 CVC pairs for 12 anticipation trials followed by a free recall of the pairs. In three of the four lists a single rule applied to all of the pairs. The rule was that the words in each pair changed first letter (rhymed), changed middle letter, or changed last letter. A fourth list contained only pairs of unrelated words. Mean number of correct anticipations per trial showed rhyming and end-change rules to be equally beneficial, although not as effective as the middle-change rule. Free recall of the pairs showed no differences among lists. Results were interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that rules facilitate retrieval by restricting the number of responses to be considered for each stimulus.

Stimulus Side

Abstractness-concreteness and generality-specificity of words were simultaneously varied in a factorial design on the stimulus and response sides of paired-associate lists constructed from 96 nouns. The analysis of recall scores from the auditory presentation of 2 alternating study trials and recall trials revealed significant ( p < .001) effects of both variables on the stimulus side of pairs. A smaller effect on the response side was significant ( p < .05) only in the case of specificity. A second experiment showed positive effects ( p < .001) of both concreteness and specificity on free recall. Mean scores were also available for the nouns on their rated capacity to evoke sensory images ( I) and on their meaningfulness ( m). A correlational analysis indicated that, of the attributes involved, I correlated most highly with learning scores. Furthermore, consistent with the hypothesis that stimulus-evoked imagery can mediate response recall, the superiority of I was greatest when the items served as stimulus terms in PA learning.

Test Part

Difficulty of learning a list of 12 CVC pairs increased monotonically as a function of number of list items (1, 3, 6, and 12) grouped together for simultaneous exposure. Contrary to expectation, the difficulty was not affected by locus of grouping, i.e., whether grouping occurred on the study part, test part, or on both parts of each trial. Subsequent free recall also failed to show significant differences between conditions. The over-all grouping decrement was interpreted in terms of a strengthening of multiple associations among list members.

Mnemonic Techniques

The present article reviewed research in which two or more mnemonic techniques in the paradigms of either free recall, paired-associate, or serial learning have been compared. The review showed that the most effective mnemonic differed across the three paradigms: imagery mediation for paired-associate learning, the story mnemonic for free recall learning, and the method of loci for serial learning. Each mnemonic varies in its suitability for different paradigms, and each paradigm is facilitated more by the use of certain mnemonics than by others. These conclusions support the view that memory processing differs across memory tasks. They also indicate that differences in memory performance across tasks are due not only to differences in basic processes (such as recognition and perception) elicited by tasks but also to the task appropriateness of control processes applied to a task.

Purpose: To assess visual associative learning and famous face recognition ability among subjects with stable amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) relative to early stage dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cognitively normal healthy controls (NC) and to correlate these differences with volumetric changes on MRI. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 61 participants. The subjects underwent neuropsychological evaluation, including validated newly designed tests for novel face-name paired association learning recall and famous face recognition. MRI volumetry was done on a subset of patients to ascertain the topographical patterns of volume loss. Results: There were significant differences in performance on free recall for face-name paired associate learning in MCI (n = 22) compared to NC (n = 20) (p < 0.001) and MCI compared to AD (n = 19; p < 0.001). Significant differences were also noted in scores on the famous personalities test between MCI and NC (p = 0.007), and MCI and AD (p = 0.032). The free recall component of face-name pair associative learning significantly correlated with left cuneus (p = 0.005; r = 0.833) and right cuneus (p = 0.003; r = 0.861) volume in AD with no significant correlation among MCI and NC cohorts. Conclusions: Novel and semantically familiar face-name associative recalls are significantly impaired in MCI, and these potentially predate the MRI volumetric changes in MCI. Our findings expand the spectrum of recall deficits in MCI.
