Abstract
The present study was undertaken to extend the findings of a previous investigation by King, Reid, & Roberts (1966). Eight lists of nonsense syllables were developed, each list containing four low and four high-association value syllables. In four lists, a L, H, L, H alternation scheme was used, while the opposite arrangement was utilized in the other four lists. The two alternation patterns produced different serial position curves. This finding was essentially in agreement with the earlier study.
