Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of associative memory (AM) to information processing training (IPT) under minimum and maximum memory requirements and to determine the effect of both AM and IPT upon subsequent performance in a concept learning task (CT). Superior performance in IPT was observed with a decrease in memory requirement. Successful performance in the IPT phase improved performance on the CT, regardless of the memory requirement during IPT or the level of AM.
