Abstract
A list of 126 CVCs was presented to each of 29 Ss. Members of the list were reinforced one, two, or three times; and four types of recognition tests were used to evaluate learning of the list. It was found that a signal-detection model applied to the data became increasingly inaccurate as the number of reinforcements of list words increased.
