Although a number of investigations of paired-associate (PA) learning have been conducted with children, little effort has been made to determine the relationship between ability in PA tasks and other subject variables. This study correlated PA performance of elementary school children with measures of intelligence, anxiety, and achievement. Two lists were studied, one consisting of strongly associated word pairs, and one of weak pairs. Relationships between various subject variables and PA performance on the strong pairs was not significant. Performance on the weak pairs, however, correlated significantly with the IQ, reading, vocabulary, and comprehensive achievement level of the children.

Abstract. Recent studies have shown that judgments of learning (JOLs) are reactive measures in paired-associate learning paradigms. However, evidence is scarce concerning whether JOLs are reactive in other paradigms. In old/new recognition experiments, we investigated the reactivity effects of JOLs in a levels-of-processing (LOP) paradigm. In Experiments 1 and 2, for each word, subjects saw a yes/no orienting question followed by the target word and a response. Then, they either did or did not make a JOL. The yes/no questions were about target words’ appearances, rhyming properties, or category memberships. In Experiment 3, for each word, subjects gave a pleasantness rating or counted the letter “e ”. Our results revealed that JOLs enhanced recognition across all orienting tasks in Experiments 1 and 2, and for the e-counting task in Experiment 3. This reactive effect was salient for shallow tasks, attenuating – but not eliminating – the LOP effect after making JOLs. We conclude that JOLs are reactive in LOP paradigms and subjects encode words more effectively when providing JOLs.
