Presentation method in auditory identification learning

Auditory information processing and its method of presentation

“…To make matters worse, the inconsistency in the results of the few extant auditory comparisons is gross. Most notably, Barch and Levine (1967) produced significant superiority with the anticipation method vis-a-vis the study-test method when Morse code signals (stimulus terms) and double-digits (response terms) were paired and presented auditorily. The findings directly challenge the validity of the retention interval model.…”

Response prompting: The practice time variable

“…In this and in subsequent experiments (e.g., Angell & Lumsdaine, 1960;Barch & Levine, 1967;Cook, 1958;Cook & Spitzer, 1964;Reynolds, 1967;Levine, 1965) the prompting design involved presentation of the stimulus and then the response (or S-R simultaneously), following which S wrote or called out the response term just presented. Although there may be slight variations in the method, no errors are made during training and retention is measured during interspersed test trials.…”
