Abstract
Subjects learned a 25-word passage of connected discourse. The learning conditions consisted of a factorial combination of three total presentation times (30, 45, and 60 sec) and three conditions of repetition (one, three, and five). Significant presentation time effects were produced because of the extremely rapid rate of presentation under the five-repetition condition. This condition also masked the previously found superiority of the repetition effect.
