Abstract
In one verbal discrimination transfer paradigm, the incorrect items from List 1 were used as the incorrect items on Last 2 and paired with new correct items. In another paradigm, the correct items from List 1 were used as the incorrect items on List 2 and paired with new correct items. Subjective frequency carryover from List 1 to List 2 was assumed to be greater for the latter paradigm due to the greater frequency buildup of correct items than of incorrect items on List 1. Frequency effects were also assumed to vary as a direct function of number of List 1 trials. Results were in agreement with these assumptions and with the predictions of frequency theory when S’s ability to discriminate recent from remote frequency is taken into account.
