Repeated presentations were made of a paired-associate list, with the stimulus and response member of each pair exposed simultaneously. Each pair was presented for a total of 20 or 40 sec., with an exposure time per trial of 2, 5, 10, 20, or 40 sec. Results of a recall test indicated that amount learned varied directly with total exposure time, but that, contrary to Bugelski's total-time hypothesis, more was learned with shorter, than longer, exposures per trial at each total exposure time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
