Serial Learning: Position Learning and Sequential Associations. Ebenholtz, S. J Exp Psychol, 66:353-62, 1963. abstract bibtex A serial list may be mastered by learning the location of the items relative to the beginning and end of the list, by forming sequential associations between successive terms, or on the basis of both processes. 2 experiments yielded evidence for the role of position learning as opposed to sequential associations. 1 experiment compared the usual method of serial learning with one in which S began each trial at a different point in the sequence. The latter procedure produced significantly greater difficulty even though sequence and number of associations were identical in both conditions. The 2nd experiment demonstrated faster learning for items on a 2nd list which occupied identical positions on both original and transfer lists than for items appearing at noncorresponding positions. In addition, a test of associative interference under conditions of serial learning yielded negative results thereby failing to support the sequential association hypothesis.
