Serial position and isolation effects in a classroom lecture simulation.

Abstract: investigations of serial learning have demonstrated superior mastery by subjects of initially presented and final material over centrally located material. Isolating an item in the sequence tends to increase the probability that item will be learned. Both effects were examined using as stimulus material extended, meaningful discourse with 108 graduate students. Two counterbalanced forms of a tape-recorded lecture resulted in significant serial section and isolation effects favoring initial over middle and fina… Show more

“…Whereas the meaning of information may be derived from its relation to other information, it may require differentiation i'rom that information to be understood and recalled as a separate piece of information. This notion is supported by evidence that the isolation of an item in a sequence of items presented to learners increases the likelihood that the item will be learned (Holen & Oaster, 1976). It is also supported by other evidence (Newtson, 1973) suggesting that perceivers analyzing behavior into fine units pick up more of the information that is critical to the perceptual structure of a sequence of ongoing behavior than do perceivers analyzing behavior into larger units.…”

“…BR is an axiom of GDP per Capita as a simple model of economic growth was in line with Adam Smith that real growth in GDP per capita increases the quality-of-life, was originated 1863. 15 Modern research evidences a logarithmic correlation between life-expectancy and growth in GDP: 2% long-term growth in GDP per capita raises life-expectancy by 3 months. Such growth in GDP during 200 years has more than redoubled average life-expectancy in the industrialized world.…”
