Abstract
Meaningfulness (M as defined by association value of nonsense syllables) for both S and R components of paired associates was related to R-S recall and recognition. R-S recall was significantly related to S m but not to R M. Neither S M nor R M had a significant effect on R-S recognition. The results were interpreted as evidence against an intratrial rehearsal view of R-S learning.
